Court directs FG to release information on Ogoni Power Project

It would interest you to know that Incorporated Trustees of Ekere-Piya-Ogoni Initiative had on the 15th of February, 2023 secured an order of the court suspending the planned flag-off of Ogoni Power Project and that the first and second defendants should not do anything on the subject matter in the suit.

But Incorporated Trustees of EkerePiyaOgoni Initiative in a contempt of court proceedings against the Minister of Environment and Minister of State for Environment, wants the court to commit the defendants to prison for violating the order or the court presided over by Justice Phoebe Ayua.

The group in the contempt of court proceedings revealed that the first and second defendants in the suit had gone ahead to mobilize workers for the Ogoni Power Project Right of Way to carry out survey, mapping and other activities preparatory to flagging off the said project as well as engagement with community development committees in relation to the project.

Today FM’S Uchendu Ejiowhor reports that the process has been served on parties, awaiting a date for hearing by the trial Judge, Justice Phoebe Ayua of the federal high court.
