What happened
Sir Celestine Omehia briefly served as Rivers governor for 4 months and 25 days in 2007 before the Supreme Court nullified his election in favour of Rotimi Amaechi. The EFCC-indictment language that surfaces in 2007-era reporting referred to Amaechi (whose indictment by the EFCC was the pretext PDP cited for substituting Omehia), not to Omehia himself. No credible personal corruption proceeding against Omehia is recorded. Recommend `contextual` entry.
