The Benue State House of Assembly has insisted that it will not change its position on the recent removal of the State’s Chief Judge, Justice Maurice Ikpambwese, rejecting overtures by the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters for the removal of the CJ to be reversed.
In a letter dated March 5 signed by the Speaker of the Assembly, Hon. Aondona Dajoh and addressed to the Chairman of the Senate Committee, the Assembly insisted that the removal of Ikpambwese was legal and that the House has no regrets over its actions as it acted within the ambit of the law.
The letter was in response to an earlier correspondence addressed to the Assembly by the Committee Chairman, Sen. Adegbanmire Adeniyi Ayodele, asking the House to reinstate the ousted CJ.
