Presidential election court dismisses Peter Obi’s request to interrogate INEC ICT experts

The Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja on Saturday dismissed a request by the Labour Party’s presidential candidate Peter Obi to interrogate ICT experts of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the conduct of the February presidential election.

Mr Obi had sought to interrogate INEC’s ICT officials concerning Internet use during the 25 February presidential election.

Mr Obi and his party are, in their joint petition, challenging the emergence of President Bola Tinubu as the winner of the poll.
