The Rivers State House of Assembly has issued an arrest warrant for Justice Adolphus Enebeli, Chairman of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC), along with four other commissioners, following their failure to appear before the lawmakers.

The decision came after the expiration of a 72-hour ultimatum, which was preceded by an initial 48-hour deadline that lapsed last Friday. The Assembly’s move highlights its demand for accountability from RSIEC officials regarding electoral matters in the state.
Meanwhile, Ibiemebo Evelyn Thompson, the RSIEC Commissioner for Transport, Logistics, and Store, resigned on Monday, citing the recent Supreme Court ruling that nullified the October 5, 2024, local government elections in the state. Her resignation follows those of Lazberry Nnah and Professor Simeon Weli, who stepped down last week for the same reason.
