UPDATE: Court declines request to stay proceedings in suit against fund allocation to Rivers LGAs
A Federal High Court in Abuja has rejected the request by Rivers State Government to stay proceedings in a suit seeking to stop allocation of funds to all the Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Rivers State.
In a ruling on Friday, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik held that the application for stay made by lawyer to the Government of Rivers State, Gordy Uche (SAN) was frivolous, vexatious, unwarranted and mischievous.
The ruling was given during Friday’s proceedings in a suit, marked: CA/ABJ/CV/1197/2024 by the Rivers State House of Assembly and Honourable Martin Amaewhule.
The plaintiffs are seeking among others, to compel the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to withhold financial allocation to LGAS in Rivers State.
The Rivers Government had sought a stay of proceedings in the case, claiming to be challenging the court’s jurisdiction before the Court of Appeal.
