Rivers crisis: Fubara inaugurates judicial panel on k!llings

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has inaugurated a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to investigate the arson, k!llings, and destruction of property at various local government council secretariats in the state

Fubara inaugurated the seven-member commission at the Executive Chambers of Government House in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Nelson Chukwudi, and sent to newsmen on Tuesday.

The commission that has one month to conclude its assignment, has Justice Ibiwengi Minakiri as Chairman; Mrs. Inyingi Brown as the Secretary; and Uzor Ikenga as the counsel.

Other members are Felicia Nwoke; Prof. Blessing Didia; Sir Samuel Egbe; and Venerable Alex Usifor.

The governor said the recent attacks and burning of local government councils’ secretariats on October 7, 2024, seemed like a repeat of what was experienced in 2014, months to the general elections of 2015 when courts were set ablaze, residences bombed and people killed, leading to the closure of courts in Rivers State.

Fubara said his administration will not look away while ill-guided youths and sponsored political thugs turn the state into a theatre of violence without being made to pay for such crimes against the state.
