The Ijaw Youth, IYC Council has faulted the role of the Judiciary in the rising political turmoil in Rivers state.

Bedford noted that there is an urgent need for the rejigging of the judiciary system so it will no fall prey to the antics of desperate politicians who are only interested in having their way all the time.
