Ubimini Crisis: Youths Want Honourable Member’s Intervention
The leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. Chidi Lloyd has been urged to intervene in the crisis currently rocking Ubimini community in the Emohua local government area.
In a press release made available to newsmen in Port Harcourt by the concerned youths of Ubimini, the community attributed the crisis to the activities of the supervisor and community liaison officer (CLO) incharge of the road project being embarked upon by the hon. member.
According to the youths, the two officials incharge of the project have refused to involve all sections of youths in the community in the road project, stressing that youths of umuetti quarters of the community were left out in manual jobs such as gutter excavation.
The youths also described as false the alleged linkage of the crisis to some prominent sons of Ubimini, warning those peddling such lies to “desist forthwith in their own interest”.
While commending Hon. Lloyd for considering the community for the project, the youths however advised him not to allow himself to be “hoodwinked by those whose stock in trade is to cause confusion”.
A text message sent to the hon member on the matter yesterday was not replied, while the CLO and the supervisors incharge of the project refused to pick their calls.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
