There is jubilation within the premises of the Owerri
High Court as Justice Benjamin Iheaka declared the impeachment of the
Deputy Governor of Imo state, Eze Madumere, invalid and of no legal
effect.
In reading the judgment which lasted for three hours,
the justice flayed the Chief Judge of the state, Paschal Nnadi and the
Attorney General of the state, Militus Nlemadim for not adhering to the
provisions of section 188(5) of the 1999 constitution as amended in the
impeachment of Madumere on July 31, 2018.
The jurist contended that the CJ constituted the
seven-man panel to investigate the allegations of gross misconduct by
Madumere by the state House of Assembly outside the seven days lifeline
as provided by the constitution.
