Wike queried the DSS and Police for storming the resident of the Judge in the middle of the night, stating that such act is undemocratic. He added that the security operatives should have first invited the judge before taking other legal actions
“What has happened this night is unfortunate. Even in military government it has never happened like this… I said not under my watch will I allow this type of activity take place.
“The DSS, Police cocked their guns and said they will shoot me, I told them I have never heard this type of thing happen before.”
