The Rivers State House of Assembly has issued an arrest warrant for the Chairman of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC), Justice Adolphus Enebeli (Retd.), and four other commissioners after they failed to appear before the House.
The warrant was approved during Monday’s plenary session, presided over by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, following the expiration of a 72-hour ultimatum issued to the officials. This came after an initial 48-hour deadline expired on Friday.
Meanwhile, Ibiemebo Evelyn Thompson, the RSIEC Commissioner for Transport, Logistics, and Store, resigned on Monday, citing the Supreme Court ruling that nullified the October 5, 2024, local government elections in the state. Her resignation follows that of Lazberry Nnah and Professor Simeon Weli, who stepped down last week for the same reason.
With Justice Enebeli yet to respond to the Assembly’s summons, his next move remains uncertain.
