The residence of Walter Onnoghen, oust Chief Justice of Nigeria, has been taken over by security operatives.
Mr Onnoghen was suspended by President Muhammadu Buhari on the recommendation of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, (CCT).
He is accused of failing to declare some assets traced to him.
While suspending him yesterday, the president alleged that the top jurist has derailed his anti-corruption
war by freeing alleged corrupt individuals who parade themselves freely in the society.
The siege is said to be laid by Personnel of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and those of the Department of State Services, (DSS) baring the press from accessing the home of the oust jurist.
At press time, it is unclear who ordered the siege at the home of Onnoghen which is said to be a stone throw from the Supreme Court Premises.
