Justice Mu’azu Pindiga, chairman of the Rivers State governorship election tribunal, was removed after a group of investigators from the Department of State Security discovered that the judge had accepted a bribe of N200m from Governor Nyesom Wike, defendant in an electoral case before the tribunal.
