In a judgment, the court ordered INEC to ensure that eligible Nigerians are not deprived the opportunity to have the voter’s card for the forthcoming polls.

Justice Ekwo held that it was the constitutional responsibility of the electoral umpire to make adequate provisions for the voter registration exercise in accordance with Nigerian laws.

“The case of the plaintiffs succeeds on merit,” the judge held.

The judgment was on a suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1343/2022 filed by Anajat Salmat and three others, with INEC as the sole defendant.

The plaintiffs urged the court to order the electoral umpire to resume the exercise in accordance with the provisions of the law.
