The Lower Chamber of the National Assembly, House of Representatives, has set up an adhoc committee to look into the clampdown on judges and report back in some weeks as instituted in the Senate too.
It however declined to summon the Director-General of the Department of State Service, over the invasion.
The committee is to investigate weekend’s raid by the State Security Service on some judges’ homes across the country.
The motion was tabled by a lawmaker from Rivers State, Chinda Ogundu.
The unprecedented operation has continued to generate divergent views amongst Nigerians.
The Senate condemned the raid, but rejected a motion to summon the Director General of SSS, Lawal Daura.
The House also refused to summon Mr. Daura, but said the committee to investigate the circumstance of the raid.
A lawmaker, Mojeed Alabi, suggested that the House should respect the principles of separation of powers and stay away from the matter, but the House approved the motion nonetheless.
