Justice Walter Onnoghen was suspended by President Muhammadu Buhari over allegations of corruption by the code of conduct bureau (CCB).
Onnoghen has so far been replaced by a former Judge, Mohammed Tanko.
Wike said that the strategy which the Federal Government wants to use is by first gathering the asset declaration forms of the Judges and then harass them with false allegations and persecutions if they fail to comply by their evil proposals.
In his words:
“I intercepted a discussion by a Minister of the Federal Executive Council where he was telling a gathering that they are happy that they have dealt with the Supreme Court.
The Minister said that the next set would be the Court of Appeal Judges and the Federal High Court judges. The Minister said any judge that fails to cooperate will face trump up charges and compelled to resign .
