A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday struck out the suit filed by Aishatu Dahiru (popularly known as Binani), the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last election in Adamawa, against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and others.
Justice Donatus Okorowo, in a judgment, held that the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter, hence, the preliminary objection of the defendants succeeded.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Binani had sought a court order restraining INEC from prosecuting the suspended Adamawa Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Hudu Yunusa-Ari, for declaring her as winner of the March 18 governorship poll, pending the hearing and determination of her petition before the Adamawa Election Petition Tribunal.
