Supreme Court Justice Nweze Dies.

 Justice Chima Centus Nweze, has died.

VOP News gathered that Justice Nweze passed away on Sunday night at the age of 64.

The Supreme Court has yet to issue an official statement as of Monday morning, when the incident was reported.

Recall that Justice Nwaeze presided over and, in a dissenting judgement in 2020, declared Emeka Ihedioha of the People Democratic Party (PDP) the winner of the 2019 Governorship election in Imo State.

Also, in a split judgement of three against two, Nweze delivered the controversial judgement of the Supreme Court, which declared then Senate President Ahmad Lawan as the authentic candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), for Yobe North Senatorial District for the 25 February general election.
