Court bars INEC from using MC Oluomo to distribute electoral materials

278

The Federal High Court in Lagos has issued an injunction prohibiting the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from using, engaging, or dealing with the Chairman of the Lagos Parks and Garages, Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, or any of his representatives in the distribution of election materials and adhoc staff for the state’s upcoming elections.

Following an application filed by the Labour Party and the Boot Party in Lagos, Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke granted the injunction.

INEC was not present at the proceedings, despite the fact that the Labour Party’s lawyer told the court that the commission had been served with court papers.
