Massive crowd protests Supreme Court’s judgment in Imo

Massive protest rocked Imo State on Wednesday as thousands of supporters of ousted governor, Emeka Ihedioha took over the streets demanding that the Supreme Court reverse itself and return their man as duly elected governor.

The apex court had in a unanimous judgement nullified the election of Ihedioha and declared Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress, APC, winner of the governorship poll held in February last year.

Uzodinma has since been sworn in and Ihedioha had approached the Supreme Court seeking the apex court’s reversion of its judgment.

After Wednesday’s protest, Ihedioha displayed photos of the protest on his twitter handle, saying that “Today, concerned citizens of our State took to the streets yet again to carry on with their demand for justice.
