An explosion has just occurred outside the Federal High Court I, Port
Harcourt, where Justice Lambo Akanbi reportedly delivered a crucial
ruling this morning, July 9.
The Justice in his ruling said the decision of the Amaechi-led
administration to go ahead with the conduct of local government
election on May 23, was a flagrant abuse of court process and a total
disregard for the rule of law.
Akonbi explained that council election defiled the rule of law because
it was conducted despite court order asking all parties to maintain
status quo.
Speculations have it that the explosion outside the court premises
might have been a reaction to the ruling.
Details of the incident are still sketchy as at the time of filing this
report.
Meanwhile, Vanguard has reported that there was no casualty
recorded in the blast. A source also confirmed that there is heavy
presence of security operatives at station road where the High court
is located.
