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.
