The Minister of Transportation Chibuike Rotimi Ameachi has denied the allegations by Justice Ngwuta as ‘pure ficton’ and a means to muddle up the investigations by Department of State Services (DSS).

Ameachi in a statement from his media team Thursday Night said “The Hon.

The transport minister also denied the allegations that he had tried to influence some court decisions.
