By Ike Uchechukwu – Calabar
Cross River State House of Assembly on Thursday confirmed Justice Akon Ikpeme as Substantive Chief Judge of the state after rejecting her twice in 2020.
Vanguard learned that her rejection was based on her being a ‘security threat’ to the state.
Ikpeme who had been screened in 2020 was not confirmed by the state House of Assembly as she was rejected twice, with two of her junior colleagues serving in an acting capacity for about one year.
Ikpeme was however not present at the floor of the house during her confirmation on Thursday Morning.
