NBA disagree with Presidency over clampdown on suspected corrupt judges.

The NBA said it finds it absurd that the Presidency would accept

assurances from the Department of State Security Service that it

followed due process of the law.

NBA President, ABUBAKAR MAHMUD called on President

MUHAMMADU BUHARI to call the security agencies responsible

for the arrest of the judges to order.

MAHMUD made the call while making a speech at a valedictory

court session in honour of a retiring Justice of the Supreme Court.

The NBA President said the actions carried out by DSS against

the judges were illegal and unconstitutional, and also constitutes a

threat to the independence of the judiciary.
