The Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), on Monday, justified the recent arrest of judges on allegations of corruption, categorising acts of corruption by judicial officers as a crime against humanity.
Executive Secretary of PACAC, Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye, also on his part, called for the suspension of the judges arrested by the Department of State Services on allegations of corruption pending when they would clear their names.
Sagay and Owasanoye spoke during PACAC’s interaction with reporters on the first anniversary of the committee’s activities.GG
Responding to various criticisms from some quarters against the raids on the houses and the arrest of seven judges between October 8 and 9, Sagay said the critics failed to understand the implications of corruption on the bench.
