JUST IN: Court restrains Amaewhule, 25 other pro-Wike lawmakers from acting as Rivers Assembly members

Justice Charles Wali of the Rivers State High Court, Port Harcourt on Friday restrained the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, and 25 other members from parading themselves as lawmakers.

The affected lawmakers are loyalists of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesome Wike.

The lawmakers had during last year’s political crisis in Rivers State dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
