Rivers Attorney-General says the court did not pass judgment on the suit
Contrary to the false news report circulated by Channels Television, the National Industrial Court, Yenagoa did not reinstate council chairmen in Rivers State whose elections were nullified last Thursday by the Federal High Court, Port Harcourt.
Justice James Agbado-Fishim on Monday simply adjourned the filed by the sacked council chairmen to October 6,2015 for definite hearing.
His ruling was contained in a certified true copy of Suit No. NICN/YEN /26/2015, signed by the Court Registrar Peter Ter Ortese and obtained by Scan News.
Justice Agbado-Fishim declared : “I have listened to the arguments of all counsels for the parties in this matter. I am of the view that there is need to allow all parties to file the necessary processes and put all relevant exhibits to support their applications as well as to react appropriately.
“Therefore by the agreement of all counsels in this matter, this case is adjourned to 06/10/2015 for definite hearing of all pending applications “.
Reacting to the false report which was initiated by the defeated APC Governorship candidate, Mr Dakuku Peterside during a live radio programme on Nigerian Info in Port Harcourt, Rivers State Attorney-General, Emmanuel Aguma stated that the false report was intended to cause chaos in Rivers State.
He said that nothing relating to the delivery of judgment was ever canvassed in court as the court papers indicate.
He regretted the irresponsible nature of the reportage of Channels Television and some local radio stations aimed at misleading the public and creating panic among the people.
Aguma added that the National Industrial Court could not have reinstated the sacked council chairmen as it has no appellate powers over a Federal High Court.
Dakuku Peterside, APC defeated governorship candidate returned to Port Harcourt last weekend with dedicated reporters from Channels Television and a host of private radio stations programmed to spew falsehood with a view to instigating violence in the state.
