The Chief Judge of Rivers State, Hon. Justice Simeon Amadi, has declined a request from the state’s House of Assembly to constitute a seven-member judicial panel to investigate Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The Assembly had formally petitioned the Chief Judge to establish the panel to probe allegations of gross misconduct levelled against Governor Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu. However, in a decisive response, Justice Amadi cited an existing court judgement as the legal impediment preventing him from acting on the Assembly’s directive.
