The Chief Judge of Rivers State, Justice Simeon Amadi, has declined to constitute a judicial panel to investigate Governor Siminalayi Fubara, citing an existing court order restraining such action.
The Rivers State House of Assembly had requested the chief judge to set up a seven-member panel to probe Governor Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, over allegations bordering on gross misconduct.
However, a credible source familiar with the development disclosed on Wednesday that there was no possibility of the chief judge acceding to the request, as he is bound by a subsisting order of the Rivers State High Court.
