Alleged Bribery: Apologize To PCA, Judges, Or Face The Law, Akwa Ibom AG Tells Sen. Abbo

By Paschal Njoku

ABUJA -A former Attorney General of Akwa Ibom state, Uwemedimo Nwoko SAN, has demanded that a former senator representing Adamawa North, Elisha Abbo, must apologize to the
President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, Justice Chioma Iheme Nwosu (a Justice of the Supreme Court designate) and the entire judiciary over his allegations of bribery against them.

Recall that Senator Elisha Abbo, had on February, 1, 2024, in a press conference, made wild and unsubstantiated allegations against the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Chioma Iheme Nwosu and Judges of the various Tribunals and Courts as well as Justices of the Court of Appeal.

Abbo had described the President of the Court of Appeal as a cash-and-carry Judge.

He also alleged that Judges now send their children and agents to go around asking for bribes.

Reacting to the allegations, Nwoko, a Life Bencher, said in a statement on Wednesday, that Abbo must produce evidence to back his malicious and false claims, or be ready to face the law.

“It is instructive to note at this stage that uptill this moment, Senator Abbo has not produced any iota of evidence to substantiate his weighty allegations.

“We take very strong exceptions to the criminal blackmail deliberately fabricated and calculated to impugn on the integrity and reputation of our revered and hardworking Judges and Justices by characters like Senator Abbo” Nwoko stated.

Nwoko reminded Senator Abbo that when he lost the case that removed him from the Senate, he openly accused the Senate President, Distinguished Senator Godswill Akpabio, of being the architect of his misfortune.

“When he was confronted with the task to prove
the allegation, he promptly went on his knees and apologised profusely to Senator Akpabio and retracted the allegations.

“It is sad and most unfortunate that this Senator who shot into the limelight on account of his misconduct in a Sex Toy Shop in Abuja, would have the criminal courage and effrontery to malign, denigrate and make such invidious imputations against our Justices and judiciary simply because he lost a case, the former Akwa Ibom Attorney General said.

The Life Bencher posited that it was “totally unacceptable, morally reprehensible and legally culpable for a person with Senator Abbo’s moral credentials and profound deficits in character content to embark on such character assassination against our Justices who have sacrificially built their good reputations over the years”.

“This brand of nonsense and unprovoked attacks against our Judicial Officers and the Judiciary must stop, Nwoko stated.

He challenged Senator Abbo to promptly produce verifiable evidence to substantiate his allegations or be ready to face the consequences in law. END.Alleged Bribery: Apologize To PCA, Judges, Or Face The Law, Akwa Ibom AG Tells Sen. Abbo
