The cases challenging the defection of the 25 state lawmakers in Rivers State from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) have been transferred.
The case was transferred from Federal High Court 4, Port Harcourt, presided over by Justice Steven Dalyop Pam, to Court two controlled by Justice E. O. Obele.
The transfer order came after a petition by Hon. Martins Amaewhule, a defendant in the matter, requesting that the cases against him be transferred to another court.
The cases involve a suit filed by the BOOT Party and civil society organisations in the state, challenging the defection of Amaewhule and others to the APC.
