Udom In Desperate Move To Bribe Appeal Court Justices To Prevent Rerun Election In Akwa Ibom State

Mr. Udom Emmanuel according to high profile sources in Akwa Ibom State is determined to use federal allocations to the State to settle Justices of the Appeal Court handling cases arising from his election, SaharaReporters reports.

Ahead of the judgment of the Court of Appeal on the Akwa Ibom State governorship election appeal cases which is expected to be delivered this week, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, has perfected plans to corrupt the Court of Appeal panel hearing the appeals arising from the October 21, 2015 judgment of the Akwa Ibom State Governorship Election Tribunal several credible sources has informed SaharaReporters.

The arrowhead of this plot is a two-time senator from Akwa Ibom State, senior lawyer and a chieftain of the PDP, Senator Effiong Dickson Bob. The former senator is said to be close to many Justices of the Court of Appeal and senior members of the judiciary in Nigeria some of who were his colleagues at the Nigerian Law School Lagos in 1984. Mr. Bob, a former Attorney General of Akwa Ibom State was a member of the Senate from 2003 – 2011 and is currently the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of the University of Benin in Edo State.

SaharaReporters investigation reveals that at some Justices of the Court of Appeal, were in Uyo the Akwa Ibom State Capital some days ago to attend the marriage ceremony of the daughter of Hon Justice Ita Mbaba of the Court of Appeal. The traditional marriage took place on 3rd December 2015 while the Christian wedding took place on 5th December 2015 at Qua Iboe Church No. 2 Abak Road in Uyo.

After the Christian wedding reception held at Shelter Afrique Playground in Uyo, Senator Bob and Justice Mbaba who is an indigene of Akwa Ibom State made arrangement for Governor Emmanuel to meet the Justices at the Le Meridian Ibom Hotel & Golf Resort.

“The Governor went on his knees at Le Meridian Hotel and begged the Justices to save him. He told the Justices that he was willing to part with any amount to retain his governorship seat,” one source told SaharaReporters.

Investigation by SaharaReporters confirmed that at least four current and serving Justices of the Nigerian Court of Appeal (JCA) and one Justice of the Supreme Court were colleagues of Senator Bob in the 1984 set of the Nigerian Law School Lagos. They include: Hon Justices Theresa Orji Abadua, JCA; Hon Justice Mohammed Danjuma, JCA; Hon Justice Isaiah Olufemi Akeju, JCA; and Hon Justice Yargata Byechit Nimpar, JCA.

From 9th to 11th October 2015, the 1984 set of the Nigerian Law School Lagos converged in Abuja to commemorate the 31st anniversary of their called to the Bar. The three days event tagged “2015 NLS 84 Grand Reunion” took place at Chelsea Hotel and Transcorp Hilton, both in Abuja.

I am close to the Mbaba's. I was in the said marriage, Udom did not attend the traditional marriage he was not in Uyo, he was at the church wedding and could not make it to the reception because he had attend another event outside Uyo. Sahara reporter should stop this money Journalism and should not use the Mbaba's daughter marriage in their propaganda. Tommorrow the will appologise.

Sahara Reporters, why mention these revered justices in your preposterous negative style of journalism?
