In delivering the judgment, Justice Simeon Amadi held that the judicial commission of inquiry was not established to investigate the former governor’s personal activities but rather the actions of his government as they affected the people of the state.
Amadi said further that Wike was legally empowered to establish the judicial commission of inquiry.
Meanwhile, Amaechi has denied reports that he left an empty treasury saying that he left N10 billion behind for Wike.
