The political crisis in the oil rich South – South State of Rivers State is getting messier by the day as the Rivers State House of Assembly this Thursday mandated the Department of State Services (DSS) to investigate the Chief Judge of the State, Hon Justice Simeon Amadi for alleged age falsification.
This development arose following the presentation of some documents to the Speaker by the leader of the House, Hon Major Jack which was capped
by the presentation of the Deputy Speaker, Hon Dumle Maol who raised an allegation against the Chief Judge of the state, Hon Justice Simeon Amadi.
“These document before me simply say that the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Simeon Amadi falsified his age in service. Mr Speaker, that is a very serious allegation, and I do hope that this House takes legislative notice,” the Deputy Speaker alleged.
Reports monitored say the House debated on it and resolved to write a letter to the Director of the DSS to do its investigation and revert to the House on their findings.
Speaking on the matter, the Speaker, Rt Hon Martin Amaewhule said, “The documents are only suggesting a case of age falsification by the honourable Chief Judge of the state, Simeon Amadi. What it means is that there has to be an investigation to that effect.”
