Some of the actions taken by the immediate-past administration of Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal in Sokoto state are set to be investigated.
This follows the inauguration of a Judicial Commission of Enquiry by Governor Ahmed Aliyu.
The panel chaired by a former Chief Judge of Gombe State, Justice Muazu Abdulkadir, is expected to submit its findings within two months.
Governor Aliyu urged them to deliver on their duties under the rule of law.
The governor said he decided to set up the judicial panel of enquiry to yield to the yearnings of the people.
His words:
“To let people know that I will not compromise, we decided to look for a very competent personality outside the state to be the enquiry’s chairman.
“That is why we go for a former Chief Judge in far away Gombe State to be the chairman. I am sure you will all agree that all the panel members are men of impeccable character.”
In his remarks, while speaking with journalists shortly after taking the oath of office, the chairman of the panel, Justice Muazu Abdulkadir Pindiga, assured that the panel would do its work without fear or favour.
Other members of the judicial commission of enquiry include; Chief Jacob Ochidi, SAN, Usman Abubakar, Lema Sambo Wali Esq, Alhaji Haliru Dingiyadi as well as Nasiru Mohammed Binji Esq, who is expected to serve as the secretary of the judicial commission.
