The Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday ordered both the
Senate and the House of Representatives to halt their plan to take
over the legislative duties of the Edo State House of Assembly.
Justice Taiwo Taiwo made the order at the resumed hearing in the
case instituted by the Edo State Government to challenge the
directive by the chambers of the National Assembly to the Governor
of the state, Godwin Obaseki, to issue a fresh proclamation of the

governor fail to make the fresh proclamation with three weeks.
But Justice Taiwo order parties in the case to maintain status
quo pending the determination of the case.
