Asset Declaration: SSS clarifies court order, says not in court with INEC Chairman

The State Security Services (SSS) has clarified that it was never in court with the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu.

It said media reports of a recent court judgement by the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) erroneously suggested it instituted a case against the INEC chairman.

The court had on Wednesday dismissed a suit by Somadina Uzoabaka against the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, and Mr Yakubu over an alleged false declaration of assets.
