It was learnt that two lawyers — Rickey Tarfa and Joseph Nwobike — both Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN), had already been arraigned in connection with the what the judges were accused of.
The judges arrived at the Lagos office of the EFCC at about 10:05am, after receiving an invitation letter from the commission.
