The first steps in the recovery of Abia's stolen wealth and resources begin as Governor Alex C. Otti inaugurates a Judicial Panel of Inquiry on the recovery of looted government funds and property in all parts of the state...
Made up eminent Nigerians from several walks of life, the panel would drive the governor's push to ensure that those who enriched themselves at the expense of the state, especially the poor, are made to answer to the law.
Justice Florence Ikwuoma Duruoha-Igwe, a courageous retired judicial officer, will serve as the chairperson of the panel, a role she has played to great acclaim on two previous occasions in Imo State.
Members include, Prof. Ogwo E. Ogwo, Prof. Ursula Ngozi Akanwa, Mazi Ugochukwu Okoroafor, and Rev. Fr. Bar. Alex Okonkwo.
Details of the panel's activities and programmes would be made public in due course....
