Justice Sylvanus Nguta, a Justice of the Supreme Court whose home was
raided by operatives of the Department of State Service, DSS, has alleged
that Transport Minister, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi and Science and Tech Minister,
Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu begged him to remove Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State.
Justice Ngwuta, alleged that his ordeal was as a result of his refusal at
various times, to help the All Progressives Congress, APC, to pervert
justice in governorship election disputes involving Ekiti, Rivers and
Ebonyi states.
In a letter dated October 18, which he forwarded to the Chief Justice of
Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mahmud Mohammed and the National Judicial Council,
NJC, specifically fingered the Minister of Transport, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi
and Minister of Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, as those that approached
him on behalf of the APC.
In the letter entitled: “Invasion Of My House In The Night, Planting Of
Huge Sums Of Money In Different Currencies, Purported Recovery Of The
Money, Carting Away Of My Documents And Other Valuable Items And My
Subsequent Abduction By Masked Operatives Of The DSS Between Friday,
October 7th And Saturday, October 8th, 2016”, Ngwuta, said Ameachi begged
him to facilitate the removal of Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State.
He further disclosed that shortly after the Supreme Court affirmed the
election of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Amaechi also called him
on phone and said “Oga is not happy”.
