Rivers Govt Drags Amaechi, Tonye Cole To Court Over ‘N96bn Fraud’
The Rivers government has instituted fresh criminal case against a former governor of the state and ex-minister of transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.

Confirming the criminal charges, the Rivers State Attorney-general, Zacchaeus Adangor, said Amaechi was sued alongside the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Tonye Cole, for allegedly selling off state assets.

Naija News recalls that Governor Nyesom Wike had in 2015 set up a seven-man panel to probe Amaechi over the alleged withdrawal of N96 billion from the state’s treasury during the latter’s tenure as governor.
The panel indicted the former minister when it submitted its report later that year but Amaechi had maintained his innocence over the fraud allegation.
