Governor sets up committee to probe Amaechi

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has set up a committee to probe the administration of his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi.

The governor had earlier accused Amaechi and his officials of leaving the state treasury empty and stripping the government house of valuables.

Amaechi however denied the allegations and said that a probe of his administration would amount to a witch-hunt.

Meanwhile, Wike has expressed optimism that his planned probe of Amaechi would be supported by President Muhammadu Buhari.
