Owerri NBA Calls For Immediate Resignation Of Rochas Okorocha

The Nigerian Bar Association of Owerri branch has called on the
Gov. Of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha to resign. This call is on the
basis that the Governor act of disobedience to court decision
and/or Judgment amounts to clear breach of Constitution Of the FRN
1999 as amended.

Speaking with TheNigerialawyer, the Chairman of the Bar
Association, Lawman Nwakaeti, Esq. said ” Gov Rochas Okorocha is
not fit to remain the Governor of Imo State since he failed to obey
an interlocutory Order granted Hon.Justice S.I Opara of the High
Court, restraining the Government of Imo State from removing or
relocating the Eke Ukwu Owerri pending the hearing and
determination of the substantive suit.”

The Association is also calling on the Federal government
through the office of the Attorney General of Federation or the
National Assembly to set up an independent commission of inquiry to
look into the affairs of what happened and to bring to book the
those involved in this mayhem which took place on Saturday, 26th
August,2017.

“Since the black Saturday incident, the situation has generated
further mayhem in the state,”Mr Lawman said.

He also informed TheNigerialawyer that “on Wednesday, 30th
August, 2017, there was another clash between armed youths of Ohaji
Egbema and Owerri Youths, as a result of the clash about 3 lives
were lost.

According to him “there is a pending case before Hon. Justice
S.I. Opara in respect to the Eke Ukwu Owerri initiated by indigenes
of Owerri against the government of Imo State at the High Court of
the state. Hon. Justice Opara granted an interlocutory Order
Restraining the government from removing the market or relocating
same pending the determination of the main suit. Gov. Rochas
Okorocha who was represented by the Attorney General of the state
and government of Imo state mobilized solders, Civil defence,
Police Officers, Militants from Ohaji Egbema, stormed Eke Ukwu
Owerri market on Saturday, 26th August, 2017, shooting
sporadically, thereby killing a ten year old boy who happens to be
the only son of his parents, while so many got injuried and most of
them are at the various hospitals recuperating.”

The Chairman sympathizes with the families of the victim and
also enjoins Owerri indigenes and members of the public to remain
law
