The Supreme Court has scheduled hearings for November 1st in the dispute between Rivers and Imo States over the ownership of seventeen oil wells.
A seven-member panel, led by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun chose the date after hearing early applications intended by parties to regularise some of the processes already filed.
Lawyers to the Federal Government, Remi Olatubora and counsel to the Imo State Government, Olusola Oke, had their already filed processes regularised.
Lawyer to the Attorney General of Rivers, Joseph Daudu, sought for seven days to respond to the counter-affidavit filed by Imo State against the plaintiff’s motion for interlocutory injunction.
