BREAKING: Court Asked to Sack Rivers Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has been petitioned to remove the recently appointed Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd).

The legal challenge comes amid growing controversies surrounding the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State and the subsequent suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s administration. The suit, filed by concerned parties, argues that the appointment of a sole administrator is unconstitutional and violates Nigeria’s democratic framework.

Critics of the appointment claim that it undermines the elected government and disregards the will of the people. Meanwhile, supporters of the federal government’s action argue that the move was necessary to restore stability in the state.

The court is expected to hear the case in the coming days as legal experts debate the constitutional implications of the federal government’s intervention.
