A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has adjourned to February 17, 2025, for the adoption of all court processes in a suit filed by the Pro-Fubara Rivers State House of Assembly members, against the 27 Pro-Wike lawmakers.
The Pro-Fubara lawmakers, are challenging the status and legitimacy of 27 other members of the State Assembly, following their defection from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
During the hearing on Wednesday, counsel to Amaewhule and fourteen others, Ferdinand Orbih, informed the court that some filed processes were missing from the case file.
He requested an adjournment to trace the documents, a request that was not opposed by the other parties.
Meanwhile, the Attorney General of Rivers State and Commissioner for Justice, Dagogo Israel-Iboroma, SAN, asked the judge to direct all parties to verify and regularize their processes at least four days before the next hearing date to prevent further delays, which was accepted by the presiding judge.
Justice Emmanuel Obile, after listening to submissions from the counsels, granted the request and adjourned the matter to February 17, 2025, for the adoption of all processes filed in the suit.
