A High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has confirmed Edison Ehie as the authentic speaker of the Rivers state House of Assembly.

Edison Ehie is one of the four lawmakers in the camp of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

Ehie was suspended and removed as leader of the House by his colleagues in the wake of the crisis at the House of Assembly.

The court has also restrained Martin Amaewhule and Dumle Maol from parading themselves or interfering with the activities of Rt. Hon. Edison Ogerenye Ehie as speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

The court also warned against the use of thugs and police officers to forcefully gain access to the Assembly Complex. (The Nation)
