All the members are said to have reconvened this morning at the three arms zone area of the Supreme Court Complex in Abuja.

The Chief Justice of Nigeria, who is also the chairman of the council had described the arrest of judges as saddening and regrettable.

He however gave the assurance that the NJC, the apex body of the judiciary saddled with the responsibility of disciplining erring judicial officers, will respond to the issue appropriately.
