The judge who earns regular salary was said to have hired a notable construction firm to build his palatial home and imported furniture from Brazil, Argentina and Spain.
Funny enough, another judge claimed that he didn't know how N18million was paid into his account and he did not get alert to enable him complain to his bankers.
And since then whenever he took money from his account what happens to his balance alert?
One of the judges also said the money found in his account was his accumulated medical allowances.
Another judge was found to have submitted three assets declaration forms to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
According to The Nation, the asset forms of the seven judges, who were arrested last weekend in a coordinated operation, were being analysed by the DSS.
Federal Government has foreclosed the return of all the seven judges to the bench as it is believes the judges cannot be in the dock and be adjudicating at the same time.
Detectives have uncovered more corrupt practices traced to some of the judges undergoing probe, the source said, pleading not to be named.

The source said: “Operatives have discovered that one of the judges owns a mansion which was contracted to a construction firm at a huge cost.
“At a stage, the judge conducted his ‘poor colleagues’ round the mansion in an open display of affluence. The judge has about 15 cars, including a Rolls Royce.
Responding to a question, the source added: “We have retrieved the assets declaration forms of these judges. It was shocking that one has three asset declaration forms with different dates of birth.”
He said the government had asked the NJC to suspend them, pending the conclusion of their trial.
Those who may not return to the bench are Justice Ngwuta, Justice Okoro, Justice Ademola and Justice Pindiga.
The source said the judges could be retired and prosecuted.
The judges will go through trial to enable Nigerians know that "they were actually caught in the act."
