Abuja – Exactly a week after the Department of State Security Service arrested seven judges on suspicion of being engaging in unbridled corrupt practices, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, revealed Thursday night, it was also probing no fewer than eight others for graft-related offences.

Also being questioned by the agency, are two court registrars arising from petitions against them by aggrieved litigants over conduct of the judges.

This comes as the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, Thursday, denied insinuations of a rift between him and the EFCC.

Malami told Vanguard in an interview that his office was working closely with the EFCC and other anti-graft agencies to drive the agenda to rid the country of corrupt practices.

“Let it be known by all Nigerians at home and abroad that there no division among the agencies of government-OHAGF, DSS, EFCC, ICPC and the NPF in the fight against graft,” Malami said.

However, the anti-graft agency refused to release the names of the suspects under investigation.

At least eight Nigerian judges and two court registrars are being investigated following allegations of corruptions levelled against them, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has said.
