Dino Melaye files appeal against court judgment on his recall

Senator Dino Melaye, through his counsel, Mike Ozekhome, has filed an appeal against the judgment of the Federal High Court Abuja, ordering INEC to continue with his recall process.

It could be recalled that members of the Kogi West senatorial district in June, sent signed copies of a recall register to INEC chairman, Yakubu Mahmood, for Senator Melaye who represents them at the senate to be recalled.


Dino had approached the Federal High court Abuja to declare the recall petition submitted to INEC Chairman, Prof. Yakubu Mahmood, as illegal, unlawful, wrongful, unconstitutional, invalid, null, void and of no effect whatsoever. The court, however, gave a contrary judgment on Tuesday.

Dino has now approached the Court of Appeal in Abuja to file an appeal against the judgment.

No date has been fixed for hearing on the appeal.
