The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has threatened to dismissed a suit filed by Senator Dino Melaye (APC-Kogi West) if he or his counsel fails to appear on the next adjourned date.
Melaye filed a suit before Justice Nnamdi Dimgba seeking an interpretation of the court’s judgment of September 11, 2017.
The court had ruled that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) acted within its constitutional rights in kick starting the process for Melaye’s recall.

He also instructed Abubakar to write to Melaye’s counsel informing him of the new adjourned date – March 19.
