Justice Tsoho of athe Federal High Court, Abuja has the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the recall process of Senator Dino Melaye.
The order is coming just a few days after INEC released a time table for Melaye’s recall process.
The court granted a motion for a restraining order, dealing the constituents another defeat.
The court asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and Melaye to maintain “status quo” in the suit the senator filed.
Mike Ozekhome, Melaye’s lawyer had asked the court to declare the petition submitted to INEC as illegal and unconstitutional.
The senator also asked the court to nullify the recall, saying it breached his rights.
The judge then fixed September 29 for hearing of the motion.
