A Federal High Court in Port Harcourt has issued a restraining order preventing the sole administrator of Rivers State, Ibok-Ete Ibas, from appointing coordinators for the state’s 23 local government areas.
Justice Adamu Mohammed granted the interim injunction following an ex parte application filed by the Pilex Centre for Civic Education Initiative, a civil society organisation led by Courage Nsirimovu. The sole administrator is the only respondent named in the suit.
