The emergency meeting of the National Judicial Council (NJC) is about now holding at the three Arm Zone of the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Journalists who had gathered early enough to cover the meeting were barred from covering the event, but an insider confirms that the meeting has begun and that the meeting is exclusively for members of the NJC.
This meeting is coming on the hills of the arrest of High Court Judges over
Corruption allegations.
The arrest has thrown up a lot of debate from the cross session of the society.
Meanwhile the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) called it absurd and unacceptable, but the Federal Government insists that the ongoing trial of the judges
alleged to be corrupt and not the entire judiciary as argued by the NBA
This is perhaps the first time the Department of the State Service, (DSS) will be making such sweeping arrests and some believe that this is a high jack of the responsibilities of the Nigerian police.
Today’s meeting by the NJC is expected to make pronouncement on the position of the body regarding the arrest of the High Court judges.
