JUST IN: COURT DECLARES IMO DEP. GOV’S IMPEACHEMENT ILLEGAL
By Joseph Omoniyi
Jubilation erupted at the Owerri High Court as Justice Benjamin Iheaka declared the impeachment of the Deputy Governor of Imo state, Eze Madumere, null and illegal.
Delivering the judgment which lasted for three hours in a tension-heavy court room, filled to its brim, the justice faulted the Chief Judge of the state, Paschal Nnadi and the Attorney General of the state, Militus Nlemadim for not adhering to the provisions of section 188(5) of the 1999 constitution as amended in the impeachment of Madumere on July 31,2018.
The jurist contended that the CJ constituted the seven-man panel to investigate the allegations of gross misconduct by Madumere by the state House of Assembly outside the seven days lifeline as provided by the constitution.
