Recall: Court dismisses Dino Melaye’s suit, orders INEC to continue with process

Senator Dino Milaye has successfully gotten the process for his planned recall extended, as the case has now been moved to the Appeal Court.

A Federal High Court in Abuja ordered that the recall be moved, after the Independent National Electoral Commission, withdrew its motion, seeking to get the right to serve the recall petition on Melaye through substituted means.

INEC had previously tried to serve him the motion in person but claimed he had been dodging.

And Senator Melaye himself had gone to the Court of Appeal to challenge the ruling backing his recall process.

The trial judge subsequently directed all issues pertaining to the case be taken to the court of appeal.
