Rivers State governor, Mr Nyesom Wike, has described as worrisome, a deliberate ploy to politicise the judiciary for the purpose of hearing the bail application of a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who was charged for murder during the March 19, 2016 rerun elections in the state.

The governor reiterated his confidence in the judiciary to live above the political games being played by the agents of APC.

Speaking at the Government House, Port Harcourt, yesterday, during the submission of the report by the Justice Monima Danagogo Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the killings and other violent acts related matters that occurred during the March 19, 2016 rerun elections in Rivers State, Governor Wike decried the setting up of a special panel by the Court of Appeal basically to consider the appeal of the APC chieftain standing trial for murder.
