Rivers Assembly orders arrest of electoral chief
The Rivers State House of Assembly led by Martins Amaewhule, has issued an arrest warrant for Justice Adolphus Enebeli (Rtd), Chairman of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission.
This action follows Enebeli’s failure to comply with a 72-hour ultimatum to appear before the Assembly.
The Assembly seeks to question Enebeli regarding the annulled local government elections held on October 5, 2024.
The Supreme Court had voided these elections due to irregularities and ordered a fresh poll, now scheduled for August 9, 2025.

Enebeli’s absence prompted the Assembly to take the unprecedented step of ordering his arrest.
Adding to the state’s political tensions, Governor Siminalayi Fubara recently invited Assembly members for a dialogue on implementing the Supreme Court’s ruling.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has barred federal financial institutions from releasing funds to Rivers State until the state complies with court orders, deepening the crisis.
