All I know is that His Excellency (Hope Uzodimma), in his wisdom, appoints his commissioners and removes them; when it is auspicious, he will give reasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut this is part of a minor cabinet reshuffling,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The National Judicial Commission (NJC) in November 2024 directed the sack of Justice Theresa Chikeka over alleged age falsification.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Theophilus Nzeukwu, who was later appointed Acting Chief Judge of the State was equally removed on grounds that he was not the most senior judicial officer in the state high court.
