The Imo House of Assembly on Thursday recommended the sack of the state’s Chief Judge, Justice Theresa Chukwuemeka-Chikeka, for misconduct and alleged age falsification.
A four-man ad-hoc committee investigated a petition and found that Chikeka falsified her age from October 27, 1956, to October 27, 1958.
A two-thirds majority of the lawmakers voted in favor of the recommendations of the House ad-hoc committee set up to look into a petition brought by a civil society group against the Chief Judge.
The recommendation urged Governor Hope Uzodimma to remove Justice Chukwuemeka-Chikeka from office for alleged misconduct, in accordance with the 1999 Constitution as amended.
The House also recommended the resolution be forwarded to the National Judicial Council (NJC) for further and necessary action.
