You can't stop probe of your administration - Abia Govt tells Ikpeazu

The position of the state government was made known by the Commissioner for Information and Culture, Okey Kanu, on Wednesday, while briefing newsmen in Umuahia.

The state government, rather, said Ikpeazu should have faced up and proved his innocence rather than seeking protection from an Abuja High Court. “I believe that if you are accused of infractions, the best thing to do is face up to whatever it is to prove yourself innocent, but for the former Governor to have shopped around for an order to stop the panel from operating leaves much to be desired.

A Federal High Court had on Monday, granted an interim injunction stopping the Panel pending the determination of the originating motion on notice.
