“Any anti-corruption action that goes against the rule of law does not help the fight against corruption,” it added.
The DSS earlier announced that it had recovered about $800,000 from three judges during the raid.
The judges involved are: Sylvester Ngwuta and Inyang Okoro of the Supreme Court; Mohammed Tsamiya of the Appeal Court; Adeniyi Ademola and Muazu Pindiga of the Federal High Court; Innocent Umezulike who is the Chief Judge of Enugu State and Kabir Auta of the Kano State High Court.
The accused persons have been released by the DSS on bail.
