Rivers Chief Judge Rejects Assembly's Request to Probe Governor Fubara Amid Legal Constraints

The Rivers Chief Judge declined the Assembly's request to investigate Governor Fubara for alleged misconduct, citing court injunctions. The Assembly had passed a resolution to probe Fubara and his deputy, but the Chief Judge, Justice Amadi, highlighted legal constraints due to pending court appeals.

Speaker Martin Amaewhule had challenged the court orders, leading to a legal deadlock in the impeachment proceedings.
