A Rivers State High Court sitting in Isiokpo has restrained the Rivers State House of Assembly from proceeding with the plot to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The court restrained the Speaker of the House, Martin Amaewhule, Deputy Speaker, Dumle Mao, the Clerk of the House, and the State Chief Judge, Justice Simeon Chibuzor-Amadi.
Justice O. Ben-Whyte issued the restraining order on Wednesday after Fubara’s lawyer, Damian Okoro, argued before him an ex parte application.
The judge, in his ruling, held that, “It is hereby ordered that the parties in the case maintain the status quo in the case by the applicant as the Governor of Rivers State pending the application of the Motion on Notice.
“The case is hereby adjourned till the 14th of November, 2023 for the argument of the Motion on Notice.”
