River State Chief Judge Declines Panel Probe Amidst Political Crisis

River State Chief Judge Simeon Amadi rejected a request from the River State House of Assembly to establish a panel to investigate Governor Fubara and Prof. Ngozi Odu for alleged gross misconduct.

This action came after court orders restrained any impeachment proceedings against the governor and his deputy. The political crisis in River State, involving Governor Nyesom Wike and the opposition APC, has led to tensions and defections.

Legal battles continue as appeals are lodged against the court orders.
