The immediate past governor of Rivers State said a situation whereby verdicts of the court are disregarded would lead to the invitation of anarchy.

“I was a governor; I have always obeyed the rule of law. You heard the governor said that our state is turning to a state of anarchy where people do not obey the rule of law.

“You must obey the judgment of court. You must not take the law into your hands. The moment you don’t obey court judgment, you are inviting anarchy, you are inviting violence,” Wike said.
