The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has
withdrawn its motion seeking an order of the Federal High Court in Abuja
allowing it to serve the recall petition on the Senator representing Kogi West
in the National Assembly, Dino Melaye.
Justice Nnamdi Dimgba struck out the motion after INEC’s
lawyer, Yunus Ustaz (SAN), announced its withdrawal in court on Thursday.
The judge also directed that all issues pertaining to the
case should thereafter be taken to the Court of Appeal.
He noted that since Melaye’s appeal against the court’s
September 11 judgment had been entered at the Court of Appeal, all pending
applications, including the ones filed by Melaye for stay of execution of the
verdict, should be taken to the Court of Appeal.
Side eyes at all parties involved...
