The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a motion by the chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Ojukaye Flag-Amachree, asking to be allowed to travel to Dubai for medical check-up.

Flag-Amachree is standing trial on allegation of murder of a man during the 2015 election in Asari-Toru Local Government Area of the state.

Giving his ruling, Justice Inyang Okoro held that the application lacked merit, adding that the applicant was being prosecuted for a murder case.

Okoro noted that the “medical update letter,” dated December 15, 2016, had no connection with the type 2 diabetes melitus which Flag-Amachree claimed he had.

Also, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, who presided over the panel, expressed worry why Flag-Amachree’s trial had not commenced fully after 25 adjournments.

The CJN said from the records of the court, Flag-Amachree had not appeared in court all the while.


The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that Flag-Amachree’s five charges bordering on the alleged murder of Iminabo Dokubo and attempted murder of Ipalibo Jackson is pending at the High Court in Port Harcourt.

The applicant had approached the court with a motion on notice pursuant to sections 33, 36(5) and (6), and Section 41 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.

Flag-Amachree had sought an order granting him leave to travel to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to enable him meet up with the medical appointment scheduled with Dr. George Davis.

He had also prayed for the release of his passport with issuance No. A04003142, deposited with the registrar of the Court of Appeal as part of the conditions of the bail granted.

Flag-Amachree stated that following his detention and subsequent release by the appellate court, his health had deteriorated, leading to his collapse and resuscitation on various occasions both in and out of prison.

The applicant averred that the Saudi German Hospital had agreed to treat him and therefore scheduled an appointment with him for February 16, 2016 at Dubai, UAE.

Flag-Amachree said he could not meet the appointment, as his passport had been with the Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt.

He stated that a similar application had earlier been filed at the Court of Appeal on January 24, 2017 but was struck out on February 28 of the same year.

This is Supreme Court, APC can never defeat PDP here, especially when it has to do with Rivers.

Ojukaye Amachree ,a notorious horse man who terrorised Diobu(Anozie street ) region of Porthacourt in his young age had 25 adjourned court cases.Police always claimed not knowing your where about.Whenever the court asked for you.Today you are a factional chairman of APC. Parading yourself round the city of Porthacourt.You and your gang caused series of problems during PHALGA constituency 3 election.
Justice must be served for your murder of Iminabo Dokubo in 2015 gubernatorial election.

Yes he does not intervene only when it involves his APC buddies just as he did nothing to sanction and instruct the AGF over Kemi -Gate, Osborne -Gate, NIA-Gate, Baru-Gate, NHIS-Gate, Gandollar-gate, Aisha-gate, Amaechi-gate, Fayemi-gate, Fulani Herdsmen-gate and so many other numerous scandals under his watch involving his saintly appointees.

Amaechi even orchestrated a jail break at the PH prison using FSARS to release his thugs who were detained there pending murder trial.

Amaechi and the APC led FG are behind all terrorist activities in Rivers
