Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state, can now probe his former boss/friend, Rotimi Amaechi.
The Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, on Thursday, dismissed the suit filed by a former governor of the state, Amaechi, challenging the setting up of a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to probe his administration.
Justice Simeon Amadi, ruled that the judicial commission of inquiry set up by Wike, was not established to investigate the personal activities of the former governor.
Justice Amadi added that the commission was established to investigate the previous actions of government as they affected the people of the state.
He stated that Wike, by the provisions of the law, is empowered to establish the judicial commission of inquiry to investigate previous actions of government.
Rounding up his judgement, Amadi said that there was no law preventing a state government from finding out how the state’s resources were spent.
