An Abuja High Court has just dismissed Melaye's suit which sought to stop his recall process.

The Senator who represents Kogi West in the upper legislative chamber had approached the court in June of 2017; in a bid to stop his recall.

A total of 188, 580 constituents from Kogi West had moved for Melaye's recall.

Melaye thereafter proceeded to the Abuja High court presided at the time by Justice John Tsoho, to halt the recall process.

The Judge then asked INEC to halt the recall process pending determination of Melaye's application.

The court, now presided over by Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, thereafter ruled that Melaye be handed the recall petition, schedule of signatures attached to the petition & the list of persons who want the senator recalled, within 2 weeks.
