Nine judges have so far been accused of bribery and corruption with the first seven being arrested by the DSS between October 7 and 8.
The protest is ongoing at the premises of the Supreme Court of Nigeria in Abuja.
Some of the demonstrators are carrying placards which say: “Stop corruption before it stops you” and “Don’t get it twisted judiciary is not on trial, only corrupt officials are,” among others.
