Imo State Assembly Recommends Chief Judge’s Removal Over Age Falsification
The Imo State House of Assembly has recommended the removal of Chief Judge Justice Theresa Chukwuemeka-Chikeka following allegations of misconduct and age falsification.
During a plenary session, a two-thirds majority voted in favor of the recommendation made by an ad hoc committee, which investigated a petition from the Civil Society Engagement Platform.
The committee, led by Hon Ikenna Ihezue, found evidence that Justice Chukwuemeka-Chikeka altered her date of birth in a statutory declaration of age sworn in 2006, conflicting with records from her admission to the Nigerian Law School and employment in the state’s civil service.
Despite invitations, the Chief Judge declined to appear before the committee, citing constitutional grounds, and insisted on appearing only before a panel appointed by the National Judicial Council (NJC).
The Assembly’s resolution will now be forwarded to the NJC for further action, marking a significant development in Imo State’s judicial landscape.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
