Justice Donatus Okorowo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Wednesday, restrained the Inspector-General of Police and the Department of State Services (DSS) from withdrawing the security details attached to members of the Rivers State House of Assembly led by Martin Amaewhule.
Amaewhule and 25 other lawmakers loyal to the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the heat of the political crisis in the state last year.
The PDP, thereafter, asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare the defectors’ seats vacant and conduct fresh elections in the constituencies.
