Senate reject motion seeking to invite Director-General of DSS over arrest of judges.

Senator JOSHUA LIDANI from Gombe State moved the motion 

 

under matters of urgent national importance.

 

Senator LIDANI claimed that it was the constitutional responsibility 

 

of the National Judicial Council to discipline corrupt judges, and 

 

not the DSS.

 

Our Abuja Correspondent JAMES IGAH reports that in the debate 

 

that followed, the Senators were unanimous in their opinion 

 

expressing support for the fight against corruption.

 

 

At the end of the debate, the Senate advised that the anti-

 

corruption crusade must be executed in strict adherence to the 

 

principle of separation of powers.

 

 

 

The Senate also mandated its Committee on Judiciary, Human 

 

Rights and Legal Matter to review the existing law and make 

 

recommendations within two weeks.
