SIR Jude Agbaso was impeached yesterday as the deputy governor of Imo State by the State House of Assembly upon the adoption of a report of a judicial panel which investigated allegations of impropriety against him.
Following his removal yesterday evening, the House immediately screened and approved the erstwhile chief of staff to Governor Rochas Okorocha, Prince Ezeakonobi Madumere who was nominated by the governor as the new deputy governor. Before developments climaxed in Owerri yesterday evening, it emerged that the N458 million bribe money at the centre of the controversy had been traced to two banks in Lebanon and Dubai.
The transfer of the money according to details of forensic investigations obtained by Masquerade234 however, showed that the funds were transferred to two accounts in the name of one of the officials of the company, who ironically, accused the erstwhile deputy governor of receiving the bribe money.
Meanwhile, Chief Martins Agbaso, elder brother of the former deputy governor said yesterday that irrespective of the actions against his brother that the one term agreement he signed with Okorocha would be effected in 2015. The motion for the removal of Agbaso was moved by the Majority Leader and member for Ahiazu Mbaise state constituency, Mrs. Adaku Ihuoma, while 23 lawmakers voted in favour of the motion.
