#Itsekiri_Winning_Cabal_Losing after the ologbotsere ambition dashed to the gutter, Chief Ayiri Emami has against frustrated as he failed in a bid to stop legal proceeding against him and his associates that looted Itsekiri developmental funds through Itsekiri Regional Development Commission IRDC he chaired for 5yrs and cannot account for a total sum of five billion Naira (N5BN) allocated to the commission by chevron Nigeria limited. The case to give account or remit the Itsekiri development fund was instituted by the lioness of Africa, Chief Rita Lori Orojowo, the Igba of Warri kingdom on behalf of the oppressed, suppressed and deprived Itsekiri people of the Niger delta.

In the substantive suit, Chief Lori-Ogbebor and others are asked the court to compel the state government, Chevron and nine others which includes Chief Ayiri Emami, to account for the alleged billions of naira voted for the development of Itsekiri oil-producing communities through Chevron’s instituted Itsekiri Regional Development Council, IRDC, and sundry benefits to oil communities in Itsekiriland.
In the objection, Chief Ayiri Emami and seven others had prayed/begged and cried that the court should strike out the suit on grounds against them citing that the court lacks jurisdiction to entertain such case and that the claimants/respondents (Chief Rita) who is acting on behalf of the oppressed, suppressed and disenfranchised poor and helpless Itsekiri people were not known to law among others.
