JUDICIARY WORRIES IN THE STATE

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom  Wike has described  as worrisome, attempts  to politicise the judiciary  for the purpose  of   hearing  a bail application of a chieftain  of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Rivers state, charged for  murder  during  the last rerun  elections in the  state .

Speaking when he received the report  of Justice Monima Danagogo Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the Killings and other violent acts related matters  during the March 19, rerun elections in the State, Governor Wike decried the setting  up of a special  panel by the Court of Appeal basically  to consider an appeal by the  APC chieftain  standing trial for murder. 

The governor who reiterated  his confidence  in the judiciary  to live above board, said the action of the Court of Appeal was detrimental to the rule  of law and the maintenance  of  the  law and order in the state. 
  
Earlier in his  remarks, Justice Monima Danagogo said  the report was in four volumes for the implementation  of  the  state government.
