The National Judicial Council (NJC) has insisted that Justice Maurice Ikpambese remains the Chief Judge of Benue State.
In a statement signed by a spokesperson for the council, Kemi Ogedengbe, the NJC said Ikpambese remains the state’s chief judge until the complaints brought against the chief judge are investigated and deliberated upon by the council.
Meanwhile, the Benue state caucus in the national assembly had earlier condemned the controversial removal of the state chief judge, describing the action as unconstitutional and illegal.
