The court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has ruled that the recall process of the Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino Melaye, be restarted after it was initially paused.
The recall was initiated by the Independent National Electoral Commission to recall Melaye from the Nigerian Senate
In a unanimous decision this earlier today, the court dismissed the appeal filed by Melaye against the judgment of the Federal High Court delivered last year.
The appellate struck out the suit filed at the court on the ground that there was no cause of action and the federal high court that initially adjudicated the case lacked jurisdiction and ought not to have entertained the case in the first place.
INEC is yet to issue a statement relating to the date the recall will be reinstated in view of today’s judgment, Sahara reports.
