Breaking by donc26(m): 4:34pm On Mar 19, 2019 |
BREAKING NEWS!!!
A Federal High Court in Abuja Tuesday ordered the
Independent National Electoral Commission to stop
the collation and announcement of the result of
the governorship and House of assembly elections
in Rivers State held on March 9, 2019.
The Commission had moved to resume the
collation of the result that had been previously
suspended after it was alleged that the AAC
Candidate was leading in the results so far
declared at the various collations centers by the
INEC returning .
There was a disruption of the collation process at
some collation centers which led to the suspension
of results for the elections. The commission on
had announced the resumption of the result
collation process after considering a report from
its fact-finding –committee put in place to
ascertain remote causes of violence that led to the
suspension of the process.
However, Justice Iyang Ewa, ordered the
Commission to halt its proceedings based on an ex
parte application filed by AAC Candidates.
The applicant prayed the court for an order of
Interim Injunction restraining INEC from resuming,
collating or announcing the result of the
suspended elections in Rivers State in respect of
the election to the office of Governor and the
Houses of Assembly
Inyang Ewa ordered INEC to appear before the
court on Friday for hearing of the suit filed against
it by the AAC and its candidate in the election.
Inyang affirmed that the court will give its final
order after it concludes the suits brought before it
by the plaintiffs.
Although INEC represented, by a Senior Advocate
of Nigeria (SAN), Ransome uwa, approached the
court with a motion challenging its jurisdiction.
But the Counsel to the plaintiffs, mohammed Abali,
however, objected to the application of INEC,
informing the court that the order issued on
Monday asking the electoral body to show cause
why the requests of the plaintiffs should not be
granted had not been obeyed.
The judge, however, ordered electoral umpire to
halt the proceedings till the court give the final
order. |
