The state lawmakers are scheduled to meet Monday at the Rivers House of Assembly Quarters in Port Harcourt, which is heavily guarded.

The notice of the meeting was made public on Monday morning by Martin Amaewhule, the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Several squads of police officers and SSS agents were present at the Assembly Quarters in the capital of the oil-rich Niger Delta State as of the time this report was filed.

Days after months of a drawn-out struggle for the Assembly’s soul, the Supreme Court ordered Amaewhule and other legislators to return to their seats.
