Includes video of Justice Okoro at Protea Hotel, Benin!!!

A new twist has been added to the battle for the governorship of Edo State, as a human rights lawyer, and former Chairman of National Human Rights Commission(NHRC), Prof Chidi Odinkalu on Friday accuses a sitting Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Inyang Okoro of hobnobbing with the Attorney General of the State, Samson Osagie at Protea Hotel in Benin, the capital of the State.

Odinkalu also uploaded a video of Justice Okoro into his twitter account. This is coming a few days after the People’s Democratic Party(PDP) governorship candidate in the last elections, Asue Ighodalo filed an appeal before the Apex Court challenging the election of the Governor, Monday Okpebholo.

Odinkalu stated in the twitter: “3 days ago, on 10 June, @Aighodalo appealed to @SupremeCourtNg against the decision of @CourtOfAppealNG in the governorship petition

Shortly after 8pm last night, a senior, male JSC left Protea Hotel (near ShopRite in Benin) in the company of the Edo State Attorney-Gen. How so?!

Hours after, he human rights lawyer provider the name and video of the Justice Inyang. He stated: “The records will show that senior, Justice of @SupremeCourtNg, Inyang Okoro, drove out of the premises of Protea Hotel near ShopRite in Benin last night with State Attorney-General, Samson Osagie, in the latter’s car. Did he disclose that to the CJN? Where did they go together?”

Find the video below:

He then stated: “I am happy we are no longer discussing whether or not Inyang Okoro, Justice of @SupremeCourtNg, was in Benin or at Protea Hotel there yesterday. Folks now want to know what more I know. If the #NigerianJudiciary will not police itself, citizens will help them….”.

Neither the Supreme Court, nor the Edo State government have reacted to the accusations.
