Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State on Wednesday swore in Justice Theophilus Nzeukwu as the acting Chief Judge of the state.
The appointment comes five months after Imo last had a sitting Chief Judge, following the National Judicial Council’s recommendation for the immediate retirement of the former Chief Judge, Justice Chukwuemeka Chikeka, due to age falsification.
