Edison Ehie, the Rivers State Governor, the Rivers State Attorney General, the Rivers State Commissioner of Finance, the Rivers State Accountant General, the Inspector General of Police, and the Rivers State Civil Service Commission.

In order to prevent Fubara from assuming the role of the Rivers State Assembly in enacting laws for the peace, order, and good government of Rivers in matters falling under its constitutional and legislative purview, the plaintiffs filed a request for an injunction against the first through tenth defendants.

Amaewhule was the speaker, and they requested an injunction to stop Fubara from blocking or disturbing the assembly.

Justice James Omotoso is the sitting judge in this matter.

According to Rivers, Amaewhule filed the complaint at the height of the political unrest in the state.
