JUST IN: Court Dismisses Melaye’s Suit, Asks INEC To Continue Recall Process


A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday dismissed the suit by Kogi West Senator , Dino Melaye, challenging the validity of the process of recalling him by his constituents, Punch reports.

Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, in his judgment, ordered that the Independent National Electoral Commission “shall proceed with the recall process”.

The judgment effectively terminated the earlier ex parte order made by another judge of the Federal High Court in Abuja, Justice John Tsoho, on July 6, 2017, directing parties to maintain status quo.

But the Justice Dimgba, to whom the case was reassigned, ordered that the process shall only proceed with the recall process, subject to the service of the petition, the full list and signatures of persons in support of the recall process.
