They claim that under Sections 215 of the 1999 Constitution and Sections 4, 7 and 9 of the Police Act 2020, the IGP, DSS and other security agencies are under statutory obligations, and bound to ensure their security and welfare.
In an originating summons instituted on their behalf By Senior Advocate Of Nigeria, Mahmud Abubakar, the council chairmen also sought order of the court against the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Lateef Fagbemi, not to allow any other laws to be implemented for local governments in Rivers State other than the ones enacted by the State House of Assembly.
They predicated their fears on alleged threat and boast by the Rivers State Government not to implement or enforce the laws made by the State House of Assembly for the local governments.
No date has been set for hearing of the originating summons.
