Justice Mambo Akanbi, the Judge who gave the June 9, 2015, judgement that sacked the 22 Local Government chairmen in Rivers State has been dismissed by the National Judicial Commission, NJC.
The 22 chairmen were elected on the platform of the All progressives Congress (APC) during the tenure of the immediate past governor of the state, Rotimi Amaechi.
The dismissal was contained in a letter sent yesterday by the National Judicial Commission.
Recall that Justice Lambo Akanbi of the Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt was accused by the 22 APC local government chairmen of collecting N100 Million from Governor Nyesom Wike to sack them from office.
This, however, prompted the NJC to launch an investigation into the accusation and the controversial judgement which ordered the 22 APC chairmen to vacate office. It was thereafter, found to be true
