The Federal High Court, in Abuja, has dismissed an application filed by Senator Dino Melaye, seeking to nullify his recall.
Melaye had approached the court presided by Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, ahead of his recall exercise, earlier scheduled to begin in July.
Following Senator Melaye’s application, the court ordered Nigeria’s electoral body, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to halt the recall exercise, pending the determination of Melaye’s application.

In its ruling on Monday, the court presided by Dimgba, said contrary to the arguments of Melaye, that he was not granted fair hearing, the Constitution does not require a special provision that mandates INEC to grant the Senator an opportunity of fair hearing.
The court then ruled that INEC provides Melaye with the recall petition, schedule of signatures attached to the petitions, and a full list of persons in support of the recall process within two weeks, before an amended time table for the recall would be made.
