The ruling also targets Governor Siminalayi Fubara, the State Attorney General, and the Chief Judge of Rivers State, who are listed as the 26th to 28th defendants in the suit.
These high-ranking officials are now prohibited from engaging with or recognizing any legislative resolutions, bills, or actions put forth by the embattled lawmakers.
The legal action was initiated by the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Victor Oko-Jumbo, alongside Sokari Goodboy and Orubienimigha Adolphus-Timothy.
The claimants argued that the activities of Amaewhule and the 24 others were in violation of the Assembly’s protocols and sought judicial intervention to restore order.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
