Fire Guts Justice Okocha's Apartment

Strange fire Friday night gutted a part of the Herbert Macauley Street
residence of Justice Daisy Okocha in Port Harcourt,Rivers State.
Okocha was appointed Administrative Chief Judge by the National
Judicial Council, an action that plunged the judiciary into crisis as
the state government kicked against it. Judicial staff in the state
have been on strike for about three months as a result of the
development and other related issues.

A former President of the Nigeria Bar Association and brother of
Justice Okocha, Chief O.C.J. Okocha, told newsmen, yesterday, that he
was alerted about the fire incident in the early hours of the day,
adding that it consumed some of her sister's valuables.

Okocha, who called for investigation into the cause of the fire, said
no court document was destroyed because the sister did not keep any at
home.
