A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, on Monday, issued an ex-parte order of interim injunction prohibiting the Chief Judge of the state and the Clerk of the state House of Assembly from recognizing the Martins Amaewhule-led state House of Assembly.
Justice Jumbo Stephen issued the order, which also barred them from dealing with Amaewhule and 26 others as members of the Assembly or acting on any resolutions, articles of impeachment, or communications from them.
The suit, identified as PHC/2177/CS/2024, was filed by the Attorney General of the state and Governor Siminialayi Fubara as plaintiffs against Amaewhule and 26 others as the first set of defendants, and Victor Oko-Jumbo, the CJ of the State, the Clerk of the State House of Assembly, and the Peoples Democratic Party {PDP} as the second set of defendants.
