Emerging reports has it that there has been a new twist to
the power tussle in Rivers state as a National Industrial Court in
Yenagoa has ordered the immediate reinstatement of elected Chairmen of
22 Local government areas in Rivers state.
The Court also ordered the Inspector General of Police to enforce the directive with immediate effect.
The
22 Local government Chairmen under the auspices of the Association of
Local Government of Nigeria, ALGON had approached the National
Industrial court to obtain an order restraining the Rivers state
government “and its agents from dissolving” them.
Recall that a Federal High court in Port Harcourt presided over by
Justice Lambo Akanbi had set aside the Local government election that
ushered in the 22 Chairmen.
Will bring details soon...
