Buhari Orders Probe Of Amaechi Over Judicial Bribe by Nobody: 12:08pm On Oct 27, 2016
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 to 247Ureport suggests.

According to 247Ureport, 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 Mohammadu 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 sequestered, 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.

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 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

This is normal. However, if it is the accounts of the 2 justices you are relying on to implicate Amaechi then you are joking. One of them claimed Amaechi came to ask him to change the outcome of a case at the Supreme Court in February.

Meanwhile, the case was concluded in January at the Supreme Court. angry

Another claimed that Amaechi came to ask for the case in a state to be manipulated for the APC. Meanwhile, the APC was not in court at all over the matter. grin grin grin

Those that have evidence against Amaechi as being corrupt will have to present it if it exists.

As for the judges, they are clutching at straws.

If the report is true, then this President has masquerade face_face in the font, face in the back_ Wike's tribunal indicted this "barawo" more than a year ago_the presidency cunningly dismissed the allegation as unfounded, went ahead and selected him for ministerial position and cajoled the legislature for confirmation.

I stand on my words_ Buhari has no temerity to investigate Amaechi_if the presidency is sincere enough, they should hand him to the River State tribunal that first indicted him_ let him clear his name there first before facing the recent charges. Otherwise, I dismis any kangaroo judgement in the like of KANU, DASUKI and other PDP stalwarts a mere puppeteering judgement.
