The Rivers State House of Assembly has issued an arrest warrant for Justice Adolphus Enebeli (rtd), the Chairman of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC), after he failed to appear before the lawmakers.
The warrant was issued during Monday’s plenary session, following the expiration of a 72-hour ultimatum that had been extended to Enebeli after he initially ignored a 48-hour deadline. The lawmakers had demanded his appearance to explain the circumstances surrounding the annulled October 2024 local government elections.
Enebeli, along with other RSIEC commissioners, was expected to attend the session but did not show up. In response, the RSIEC chairman and his team filed a lawsuit at the State High Court to contest the legislature’s resolutions.
