2 Min Read

Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako has been found wanting by the seven member panel set up by the Chief Judge of Adamwa, Justice Ambrose Mammadi to investigate the governor and determine his eligibility for impeachment.

Reports indicate that the panel indicted the Governor but absolved his deputy, Bala Ngilari.

Sources told PUNCH, that the governor had already approached the court to file an appeal, having preempted the outcome of the panel.

A source told PUNCH, “His Excellency knew from the word go that the committee working in tandem with the House, have a predetermined outcome which is to indict the governor to pave the way for his impeachment.

“He has gone to court to challenge the constitution of the panel itself. If you recall, the outgone Acting Chief Judge gave a ruling on a Wednesday stopping the House from going ahead with their plot.

“On Thursday of the same week, the House met and passed a resolution, by Friday, the same judge constituted the panel, this is definitely more than meets the eye.

“We are petitioning the National Judicial Council over the conduct of the judge while we pursue the matter against the panel and the House in court, we cannot allow this impunity to continue.”
