Former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi on Tuesday said he never approached Justice Okoro Inyang, a Justice of the Supreme Court over any case.
Justice Okoro in a letter to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mahmud Mohammed had alleged that Amaechi visited him to influence some Supreme Court cases.
But Amaechi in a statement said Justice Okoro was only trying to politicize the raid of his house and discovery of cash by the DSS.
He said, “This accusation from Justice Okoro against Amaechi is a figment of his imagination, concocted to obfuscate and politicize the real issues for his arrest and DSS investigation of allegations of corruption against him. The claims by Justice Okoro against Amaechi are blatant lies, bereft of any iota of truth or even logic. Amaechi did not, and has never approached Justice Okoro in respect of the cases Okoro mentioned or any other case. This is a cheap attempt, albeit, political move to drag the name of Amaechi into something he knows nothing about. Justice Okoro should face his issues and leave Amaechi out of it. He will be hearing from our lawyers.”
I’ll rather believe a Judge than a Politician. Don’t ask me why. ButbI will still give reason. Politicians & Police are brothers.
