Parties to the protracted dispute between Izzi indigenes and Ebonyi State Government over the Ochudo/Centenary City land have been directed to maintain the status quo pending the determination of the suit filed by Ndieze Inyimagu-Unuphu.
Justice A. Aluko of Abakaliki Federal High Court handed down the order on Friday, while ruling on an ex-parte application filed by the law firm of Ani and Edemba, on behalf of the Izzi communities.
