Yenagoa—A construction firm, Rematon Services Limited, has threatened to file a case in court against the Bayelsa State Commissioner of Justice and Attorney General, Biriyai Sambo (SAN) over an alleged refusal to pay the debt owed for the construction of the High Court complex in the State despite an existing court order to that effect.
According to reports, the firm which executed the construction of the State High Court complex had filed a suit against the State High Court and in the suit numbered YHC/26/2019, the court last year ordered the state government to pay the contractor, Rematon Services Limited, a specified sum for the construction of the State High Court Complex.
It was gathered that the Bayelsa Attorney-General and Commissioner
of Justice, Biriyai Dambo (SAN) has however appealed the ruling of the State High Court.
Although politicians in the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have said to have faulted the move by the Attorney General to appeal a verdict delivered by the state high court against itself.
It would be recalled that Rematon Services Limited through its Chief Executive Officer, Mrs. Boma Ojokojo, had since 2019 approached the State High Court over the refusal of the State Government through the office of the Ministry of Justice to settle and pay the contract debt owed the company.
Efforts to get a reaction from the Bayelsa Attorney General proved abortive as he did not respond to messages sent to him before going to press.
