The Supreme Court has struck out two suits filed by the Bayelsa State Government against the Attorney General of the Federation , Akwa Ibom and River states over earnings from disputed Soku oil wells.
Wodu claimed that the Rivers State Government surreptitiously obtained a judgment at the Federal High Court, without the knowledge of Bayelsa State Government, in respect of which it now lay claim to the Soku oil wells and earnings due from it. Justice Ngwuta particularly, noted that it was impossible for the Supreme Court to determine the suit by Bayelsa, without touching on the issues determined by the Federal High Court, which would form part of the appeal to be filed at the Court of Appeal.Justice Ngwuta added: “What we are saying is that you should withdraw this suit.”
In a ruling, Justice Ngwuta said: “Suit number, SC/649/2020 having been withdrawn, is hereby struck out.” Bayelsa had, in the suits filed earlier this year, prayed the Supreme Court to stop the Federal Government from further paying monthly statutory allocation from Soku oil wells to Rivers State.
