At the hearing, Hon Justice F.A. Olubanjo, immediately struck out the suit.
While briefing newsmen at the Federal High Court Asaba, Okotie- Eboh, who is the immediate past Regent of Warri Kingdom, accompanied by Prince Isaac Dorsu, stated that the struggle for the Itsekiri who are the highest Oil and Gas producing ethnic nationality in Delta State continues.
