The Concerned Kogi Registered Voters (CKRV) have filed a law suit at a Federal High Court in Abuja seeking to stop the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from commencing verification of signatures collected in order to recall Senator Dino Melaye (Kogi West).

Addressing newsmen on Thursday in Abuja, the convener and secretary of the 18-member group, Olowosayo Gabriel Sunday and Amupitan Babayomi Segun respectively, claimed that names of dead persons and people who did not reside in the district appeared on the recall register submitted to INEC.

The applicants, who faulted the 188,000 signatures which were submitted to INEC, noted that while 111,534 voted in the general election in Kogi West, the total number of registered voters in Kogi West was 360,098.
