The three accused persons are Justices JOHN INYANG OKORO and SYLVESTER NGWUTA of the Supreme Court, and Justice ADENIYI ADEMOLA of the Federal High Court.
The filing of charges before the Federal High Court comes about three weeks after the night raid on the homes of the judges by the DSS.
Independent sources that have sighted the court papers revealed that the charges are related to money laundering and illegal possession of firearms.
Vanguard online reports that Justices OKORO and NGWUTA are to be charged with money laundering, while Justice ADEMOLA is to face charges of money laundering in addition to illegal possession of firearms.
The charges attract up to fifty-eight years upon conviction of the accused judges.
