Rivers Emergency Rule: Court Dismisses Suit on State Funds

The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit seeking the refund of state funds released and expended under Rivers State’s emergency rule, citing a lack of jurisdiction. Presiding Judge James Omotosho ruled that the suit was void ab initio and declined requests to transfer the case to Port Harcourt. Earlier rulings similarly upheld the legality of the emergency declaration. News Central speaks with lawyer and political analyst Liborous Oshoma to discuss the implications of the verdict, options for the plaintiffs, and what this means for executive power and state governance in Nigeria.
