President
Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly ordered a comprehensive investigation of the
transport minister and former Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi over
judiciary bribe saga ravaging the ruling All Progressives Congress, an
unconfirmed report according to247Ureport suggests.
According
to 247Ureport.com, the house of the presidency appears struck on a path to
self-implosion and as a result, the President had ordered for a comprehensive
investigation into the allegations leveled on the Transport Minister by two
Justices of the Federation.
Following
what appeared as serialized exposure by the Justices of the federation of the
involvement of Rotimi Amaechi in the attempt to subvert the judicial process,
the President of the federation, General Muhammadu Buhari fell under the
immense pressure from the international community to investigate the validity
in the claims leveled by the Justices.
To
this end, the President instructed for a probe be launched into the activities
as alleged by the Judges. The Judges had alleged that Amaechi attempted to
bribe them in more than one occasion. Our source reliably confirmed a probe
into the claims of the Judges were launched based on the instructions of Mr.
President.
All
of the bank accounts known to belong to Amaechi, according to our source, have
been placed under watch and the historical activity on the account requestered,
247Ureport says. Justice John Inyang Okoro, of the supreme court, alleged that
the Department of State Services (DSS) is after him because he refused a bribe
from Chibuike Amaechi, minister of transportation.
However,
Amaechi has denied the allegation and
threatened to sue the judge. Okoro, whose house was raided by the DSS on
October 8, alleged that Amaechi had approached him to compromise the
governorship election appeals from Akwa Ibom, Abia and River states, but that
he declined to fall in line.
Also,
Justice Ngwuta in a letter to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, specifically
mentioned Amaechi and Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, as
two top APC leaders who approached him approached him to compromise the ruling
of Ekiti and Ebonyi State Governorship elections
