NO PLAN FOR CHIEF JUDGE TO GO ON LEAVE – RIVERS JUDICIARY

The Rivers State Judiciary has dismissed reports that the Chief Judge of the State, Justice Simon Amadi, will be proceeding on an annual leave on Thursday, March 6.

The denial came following a report circulating on social media that the CJ had been ordered by the governor of the state, Sir Siminialayi Fubara, to leave the country to stop the Martin Amaewhule-led State House of Assembly in their alleged plot to impeach the governor.

The Judiciary in a statement in Port Harcourt, signed by David D. Ihua-Maduenyi, Esq. Chief Registrar, High Court, said the reports of the annual leave are false and misleading.

“The attention of the Rivers State Judiciary has been drawn to a publication in the NEWS WEEK ELECTRONIC MEDIA CHANNEL of today, 5th March,2025 captioned-‘BREAKING: Rivers State Chief Judge Embarks on One-Year Recess Leave” which alleged that the Chief Judge of Rivers State is set to embark on a One Year Recess Leave,” the statement said.

“The Rivers State Judiciary categorically and unequivocally refutes this malicious, misleading, false and baseless allegation against the person and the office of the Chief Judge of Rivers State, Hon. Justice Simeon Chibuzor Amadi (DSSRS).

“For the records, the Chief Judge did not at any time announce nor intend to announce embarking on any recess or extended recess leave by whatsoever name called, as such leave is alien to the Judicial Officers Calendar of Vacations.

“The vacation calendar of Judicial Officers is of public knowledge, namely: Christmas Vacation, Easter Vacation and Annual Vacation.

“The public is hereby advised to utterly disregard this misguided publication aimed at causing ill-will, dissaffection and confusion in the State.”

    WHY BUHARI RELOCATED FROM DAURA TO KADUNA

    WHY BUHARI RELOCATED FROM DAURA TO KADUNA Former President Muhammadu Buhari recently relocated to his known residence on Sultan Lane, GRA, Kaduna. Since Buhari exited the Presidential Villa in Abuja on May 29, 2023, he had been in his country home in Daura, Katsina State until recently. Credible sources said his relocation to Daura was actually a stop gap measure after leaving office pending the completion of his Kaduna house. It was learnt that the house was demolished and thereafter rebuilt by one of the leading construction companies in Nigeria. Inside FG’s 2024-2027 roadmap for Nigerian womenRimin Gado women cap-makers redefining entrepreneurshipWhen one of our correspondents visited the location of the house, there were heavily armed security operatives, making it difficult to go much close to the building. He, however, managed to get a picture of the area, even as the newly built house could be seen from the distance. The Kaduna house is where Buhari was known to reside prior to his swearing in as president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on May 29, 2015. The house used to be a modest edifice said to have been built when he was serving as a senior officer in the army and years before he became head of state in 1983. During those years, visitors to the house were often surprised at the modesty of the entire building, which stood on a vast compound, compared to what other former heads of state have as abodes. The duplex stood in front of a lawn, which took most of the space on the plot accommodating the house. For the eight years that Buhari held sway as president, sources said not much was done to upgrade the house as he spent his vacation mostly in his home town of Daura. Careful about his modest lifestyle, the former president has always insisted that he did not use his office either as military head of state or president to enrich himself. Close to the end of his second tenure in 2023, Buhari surprised many when he gave notice that on leaving office, he would be returning to Daura instead of Kaduna to stay away as far as possible from the seat of power in Abuja. When he handed over to President Bola Tinubu, Buhari retired straight to Daura, where he lived for close to two years. In an interview on NTA’s ‘Conversations With History’ aired in November 2023, Buhari had said: “People charter buses and come to see me from time to time. I thought I had stayed as far away from Abuja as possible, but they still come. I would have gone to Niger if the borders were opened.” ⁣ And at a recent event organised by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Katsina, Buhari emphasised that he had just three houses, two in Kaduna; one, which he was occupying before he became president, and another, which he said he had put up for rent. The third one is his country home in Daura. Sources said it was while he was in Daura that the Kaduna house was “reconstructed completely,” befitting his status as a former military head of state and later, president. Relocation In a surprising twist to his earlier promise, Buhari relocated to Kaduna to a well redesigned and reconstructed edifice. The surprise for many is the ease with which the edifice came out, given the acclaimed frugal nature of the former president and his preference for a near Spartan lifestyle. Our correspondent, who visited the area, observed that the narrow street where the former president’s residence is located was largely deserted, with only a few vehicles parked in front of neighbouring houses. Soldiers and policemen were seen stationed at the entrance gate, along with…

    COURT DOCUMENTS REVEAL PAST LEGAL DISPUTE INVOLVING NATASHA, HUSBAND

    COURT DOCUMENTS REVEAL PAST LEGAL DISPUTE INVOLVING NATASHA, HUSBAND Recent reports have surfaced regarding a purported legal dispute between Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and her husband, Emmanuel Uduaghan. A letter from Indemnity Partners, dated November 19, 2020, suggested that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan had engaged in a legal case against her husband over allegations including breach of promise of marriage, poisoning, financial loss, and indebtedness. According to the letter, Emmanuel Uduaghan made persistent amorous advances to Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, promising marriage. She allegedly accepted these advances after he assured her of marriage intentions. The letter mentions that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan was involved in significant business ventures, including a N7 billion NDDC and SMEDAN project. It alleges that Uduaghan influenced her to cease pursuing these ventures, except with his approval. The letter said Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan experienced an ectopic pregnancy, leading to the loss of her left fallopian tube and ovary. It further alleged that she suffered physical abuse during this period. The letter stated that when Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan became pregnant again, Uduaghan allegedly insisted on an abortion. It claims that he conspired to induce an abortion by serving her a poisoned meal, which led to a miscarriage. The letter includes claims of financial losses and demands for compensation, including repayment of a N400 million loan and N10 billion for various services and damages.
