In Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, a High Court has halted a planned gathering by supporters of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike.
A complete hearing must be held before the rally can proceed, according to the court order issued on Thursday.
The rally was scheduled for the state capital, Yenagoa, on April 12, 2025.
Wike and Bayelsa Governor Douye Diri have been at odds, and their tensions have increased since Wike’s followers revealed their planned rally.
