In a recent development, the Rivers State High Court in Port Harcourt has issued an interim injunction preventing Martin Amaewhule, the pro-Wike Speaker of the State House Assembly, and 24 other lawmakers from functioning in their legislative roles.
The injunction was requested by Victor Jumbo, the pro-Fubara Speaker, and two other Assembly members aligned with Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Justice Charles Wali, who presided over the case, issued the order on Friday under suit number PHC/1512/CS/2024. The court directed the 25 defendants to refrain from convening or conducting legislative activities at the House of Assembly Quarters or any other location until further notice.
