Adeniyi Ademola, a judge of the Federal High Court in Abuja, and one of those arrested by operatives of the State Security Service, on Tuesday withdrew from presiding over the trial of former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
Mr. Ademola was arrested by the SSS on October, 7 after his house was ransacked following allegations of corruption.
The operatives said they found huge sum of money in local and foreign currencies at his residence during the raid.
Days after the raid, Mr. Ademola wrote the Chief Justice of Nigeria, saying he was attacked unjustly. He sited his previous rulings on Mr. Dasuki during which he granted him bail. The SSS did not obey the order.
Mr. Ademola also mentioned his previous decisions on a case involving a leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, as reasons for his arrest. He had presided over various cases on Monday, before his latest decision to resign from Mr. Dasuki’s case.
He said the reason for his withdrawal is the current allegations of corruption levelled against him.
