Supreme Court stops FG from ceding 17 oil wells to Imo - Daily Post Nigeria

The Supreme Court on Wednesday granted an order of injunction stopping the Federal Government and it’s agencies from ceding 17 disputed oil wells located at Akri and Mbede to Imo State.

In a chamber ruling by the Supreme Court in an ex-parte application argued by Emmanuel Ukala SAN, the apex court restrained the Attorney General of the Federation and the Attorney General of Imo State from taking any further action on the ownership of the disputed 17 oil wells till the ownership disputes surrounding them are resolved.

The plaintiff also sought a declaration that as far as Nigeria’s administrative map 10,11 and 12 editions and other maps bearing similar delineations relate to the boundaries between Rivers and Imo, the said maps are unlawful and void, cannot be relied on to determine the extent of the territorial governmental jurisdiction of Rivers and to determine the the revenue accruing to Rivers from the federation account, including the application of the principle of derivation and other revenue...

The plaintiff also sought declaration that all the oil wells within Akri and Mbede communities are wrongly attributed to Imo State and that they are all oil wells within the territory of Rivers State and form part of the state and that it is only rivers that is entitled to receive the full allocation of the distributable revenue from the oil wells on the basis of the 1390 derivation as contained under section 162 of the 1999 constitution.
