The Chief Judge of Rivers State, the State Attorney General of Rivers State, and Governor Siminalayi Fubara—the 26th and 28th defendants in the lawsuit—were also granted an interlocutory injunction by the court, which was chaired by Justice C.N. Wali.

It is forbidden for them to deal with, deal with Amaewhule and the other 24 people, or receive any resolution, bill, or other acts from them.
