Chief Judge of Abia State, Justice Theresa Uzokwe, has refuted allegations that she has been away from her duty post.
She also denied deliberately refusing to swear-in Dr. Uche Ogah as Governor of the state as ordered by a court.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has issued Ogah his Certificate of Return after Governor Okezie Ikpeazu was sacked by a Federal High Court last week.
A statement by the Acting Chief Registrar, Abia State Judiciary, Mrs. Vicky Analaba, explained that contrary to the allegation, that the Chief Judge, was in her office throughout work time last Thursday.
The statement reads: “The attention of the Chief Judge of Abia State, Justice Theresa Uzoamaka Uzokwe, has been drawn to various spurious and mischievous reports alleging that the Honorable Chief Judge had absconded from her duty post on Thursday 30th June 2016, to avoid swearing in Uche Ogah as Governor of Abia State.
