The Supreme Court on Friday upheld the Rivers State House of Assembly led by Martin Amaewhule as the legally recognized legislative body in the state.
Papers News reports that a five-member panel of justices, led by Justice Uwani Abba-Aji, issued the ruling, with Justice Emmanuel Agim delivering the lead judgment.
The court also restrained the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF) from disbursing budgetary allocations to Rivers State until a valid Appropriation Act is passed by a lawfully constituted Assembly.
