Rivers Assembly issues 48-hour ultimatum for RSIEC chair to appear before it, threatens arrest

The Rivers State House of Assembly has issued a 48-hour ultimatum for the Chairman of the State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC), Justice Adolphus Enebeli (retd), to appear before it regarding the conduct of the 2024 local government elections.

The resolution was made during a plenary session chaired by Speaker Martin Amaewhule on Wednesday.

The House warned that if Enebeli fails to comply with the summons, a warrant for his arrest will be issued.

In addition, the Assembly resolved to formally request Governor Siminalayi Fubara to submit the names of all his commissioners who were not screened by the Amaewhule-led Assembly.
