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.

“The aim is to reduce road traffic crashes, minimise congestion, and ensure the safety of lives and property during the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.”
