About 14 months after he was controversially impeached by the 5th session of the State House of Assembly for alleged gross misconduct, relief came the way of former Deputy Governor of Enugu state, Sunday Onyebuchi on Friday as an Enugu High Court presided over by Justice R. O. Odugu quashed the impeachment.


The court, in the judgment that lasted for over an hour, also ordered the restoration of all the rights and benefits of the former deputy governor from the time of his removal up to May 29, 2015 when the his tenure constitutionally elapsed.

In a swift reaction, Onyebuchi who was in court with his wife, Nneka expressed appreciation to the judiciary for once again dispensing justice without fear or favor, noting that he had been vindicated by the judgment, while declaring that he had ling forgiven his adversaries.
It could be recalled that Onyebuchi was impeached on August 26, last year by the immediate past State House of Assembly led by Speaker Eugene Odoh following the recommendation of the seven-man impeachment panel set up by the state Chief Judge, Justice Innocent Umezulike, which investigated allegations of gross misconduct leveled against him by then Governor Sullivan Chime.
His impeachment from office led to the appointment of Rev Ifeanyi Nwoye, who served as deputy governor from August last year to May 29, this year.

A typical case of justice can only be delayed but can never be denied.

Justice at last and happy for him

That is why some people take laws into their hands. I remember when Peter Odili's adversary was in court until Odili served out his tenor. Sometimes I'm tempted to call Nigerian judiciary useless.

Shouldn't the court have awarded this man some form of compensation for all he has passed through? I'm sure all he'll get is monetary entitlements.
