Court Dismisses Suit to Stop INEC's Electoral Delineation in Delta State | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE
  • A court in Abuja has dismissed a suit by the Itsekiri ethnic group to stop INEC from implementing a Supreme Court ruling on electoral delineation in Delta State.

  • The court ruled that the case was an attempt to challenge a Supreme Court decision and was also statute-barred.

  • INEC is now free to proceed with the implementation of the fresh delineation report.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit filed by Chief Brown Mene and two others seeking to restrain the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from releasing the report on the fresh delineation of electoral wards and polling units in Warri North, Warri South, and Warri South West Local Government Areas of Delta State.

Justice Nwite, in delivering the ruling, held that the case amounted to an attempt to challenge a Supreme Court decision, describing it as “judicial rascality.”

The court further ruled that the suit was statute-barred, having been filed outside the legally prescribed three-month period, and subsequently dismissed it.

The Supreme Court had ordered INEC to conduct a fresh delineation of electoral wards and polling units in the Warri Federal Constituency. INEC carried out fieldwork and visited communities and settlements across the constituency.

However, before the commission could release its findings, members of the Itsekiri ethnic group approached the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking an interim order to prevent INEC from proceeding with the implementation of the Supreme Court’s directive.

INEC, represented by Suleiman Ibrahim, SAN, argued that the Federal High Court lacked jurisdiction, as the matter had already been determined by the Supreme Court.

Justice Nwite upheld INEC’s argument, stating that revisiting a Supreme Court ruling would be judicial overreach. With this ruling, INEC is now free to proceed with the implementation of the fresh delineation report, as directed by the Supreme Court.
