Fubara’s Camp Calls Out Shocking Court Speed: ‘Filed at 9AM, Order by Noon?’ — Sambo Questions Judicial Fairness

According to our reporter, SA Sambo, ARISE News Politics Editor, has raised fresh doubts about the lightning-fast court order halting Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s impeachment in Rivers State. Watch full report

In a January 23, 2026 interview, Sambo challenged whether Speaker Martin Amaewhule noticed how quickly the case progressed  filed at 9 a.m., with an ex parte injunction by noon. This unprecedented speed, he argued, suggests judicial process might be manipulated in the intense political battle between Fubara and former governor Nyesom Wike.

The court’s order stopped the Assembly from forming an investigative panel, deepening suspicions about the legal system’s role in politics. Sambo’s critique highlights growing worries over misuse of ex parte rulings, risking public trust in justice.
