YES a state governor is immune from civil prosecution, but, I do not think same is applicable in the criminal code (criminal matter). I will not dwell much on that for now, until I consult my statute books and lawyers for clarity.

But I know for sure that a former state governor and/or former president is not immune from prosecution (both criminal and civil matters).

This is because I am becoming increasingly worried if the DSS is contemplating charging the occupant of Presidential Lodge of Akwa Ibom State Government House, in this case, Godswill Akpabio, to court for treason and illegal possession of fire arms on the basis of the $21 million and ammunition allegedly discovered in the Lodge during its raid on Thursday.

1. Is it true that Akpabio is actually residing in the Govt House after his tenure more than three months ago?

2. If that is true, did Akpabio not build his personal residence either before, during or after his 8years tenure as governor of Akwa Ibom state anywhere in the state??

I think the DSS said they only met dollars in the govetnment house and not harmful materials?
