A panel of enquiry set up to look into allegations levelled against the Deputy Governor of Enugu State; Mr. Sunday Onyebuchi will begin investigation on Wednesday

Justice Umezulike constituted the seven-man panel on Tuesday, following the commencement of impeachment proceedings against the deputy governor by members of Enugu State state House of Assembly.

Onyebuchi is been accused of running an illegal poultry in his official residence at the Government House, and also refusing to represent Governor Sullivan Chime at official functions, despite directives from the governor instructing him to do so.

The panel of enquiry, which was inaugurated by the CJ in his chambers, is headed by Mr. Oraeke Franklin, and has Pastor Uruakanwa Okoh, Elder Nnamdi Onyenwulu, Barrister Maxwell Eze, Mrs Praise Anyim, Aro Perfecta and Anthony Iguh, as members.

In a short address while inaugurating the panel, the CJ said “i am under a constitutional obligation to set up a committee to investigate the allegations brought against Onyebuchi”

He explained that members of the panel were selected based on their proven integrity and high moral standing, he therefore urged them to live up to expectations as their activities during the period would be seriously monitored

Justice Umezulike said, “I need here to remind you that the constitutional or democratic history of Enugu State would never be complete without a chapter of the functions you are about to perform.

“I therefore urge you to perform this function in a manner that would elicit commendation rather than condemnation from legal and constitutional minds.”
