Rivers State Chief Judge, Justice Simeon Amadi, has refused to set up a judicial panel to probe Governor Siminalayi Fubara, citing an existing court order preventing such action
The Rivers State House of Assembly had asked the chief judge to constitute a seven-member panel to investigate Governor Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, over alleged gross misconduct.

A credible source familiar with the matter told reporters on Wednesday that Justice Amadi cannot comply with the request due to a subsisting order from the Rivers State High Court.
The source explained that the court order, issued by a High Court in Port Harcourt, specifically named the chief judge and instructed him not to take any action that would violate the ruling.
