Court nullifies impeachment of Simon Achuba, ex-Kogi deputy governor
The Kogi State High Court in Lokoja has declared the impeachment of the former Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Simon Achuba, as null and void.
Achuba was in October 2019 impeached by the State House of Assembly.
But Justice John Olorunfemi on Wednesday faulted Achuba’s removal from office, describing it as a violation of the Constitution.
The judge, while delivering the judgment, also said the nomination of Edward Onoja as the deputy governor did not follow due process.
