The officials, appointed by suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, are contesting their removal from office.
The dismissal, carried out by the state’s Sole Administrator, retired Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, is at the heart of the legal dispute. Other defendants in the case include the Rivers State Government, the state’s Accountant General, Access Bank, Zenith Bank, and eleven additional respondents.
The case, originally set for adoption of final written addresses, came up on Thursday. At the session, legal representatives of Access Bank and Zenith Bank requested more time to submit their documents.
The application faced no opposition from other parties involved.
