Embattled Governor of Taraba state, Darius Dickson Ishaku, has allegedly reached out to a major court top officer in Jalingo to give Senator Emmanuel Bwacha, the so called Zamfara treatment.

The move is coming on the heels of the deep confusion sorrouding the governorship race in Taraba state. While the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state seems to be in a disarray, Senator Bwacha who recently decamped to the All Progressive Congress (APC) is said to be on a winning streak.

A source said worried by the development, a rattled Governor Darius paid huge sums of money to a high ranking judicial officer (name with held) to proceed with a legal process that could declare Senator Bwacha seat vacant, essentially sacking him from the National Assembly.

The source added that the same high profile judicial leader had previously given an unfavorable judgement in a matter of the APC executive after heavy monetary inducement by the governor.

An Appeal Court has since quashed the judgement, calling for a stay of execution on the matter.

It would be recalled that similar cases have been brought on decamping politicians around the country without much success. The most celebrated was that of Governor Umahi of Ebonyi state who was sacked by the court but won at the appellate courts.

The source said a heavy worded petition to the Nigerian Judicial Council (NJC) would soon be written on the conduct of the said judicial top brass who is said to be a lackey of the governor.
