Members of the Local Government Service Commission have filed a lawsuit against the Rivers State High Court in Port Harcourt.
Goodlife Ben, the commission’s chairman, and five others, filed a lawsuit against Ibok-Ete Ibas, the former sole administrator.
The claimants, who had previously been appointed by Governor Siminalayi Fubara, requested that the court order their reinstatement and declare their removal unlawful.
However, Kelechi Ubani, their attorney, announced the case’s withdrawal during the session on Thursday, calling it a “painful but necessary decision.”
Ubani testified to the court that Rivers State should have done this in order to advance peace and development.

Justice Onyiri cited Order 25 Rule 1, which allows the revocation of civil lawsuits, as supporting their contention.
