A Nigerian Citizen, Prince Ozodinobi has dragged the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC and one other to court seeking to expunge list of double registrants and under-aged voters from the 2023 voters list.
In a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/24/2023 and made available to POLITICS NIGERIA, the Plaintiff noted that ‘the beginning of every credible or otherwise election is from the credibility of the Voters’ Register’.
He insisted that ‘the Voters’ Register as currently maintained by the 1st Defendant for the purposes of the 2023 General Election is heavily corrupted and afflicted with under-aged registrants and multiple registrants in contravention of the laws governing election in Nigeria.
The plaintiff is also asking the court to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to appoint a reputable auditing firm to carry out external forensic audit on the Voters’ Register that will be used for the 2023 general elections.
The suit which was brought before the federal high court is further seeking an order to restrain INEC from conducting the impending elections with a Voters’ Register containing the list of double registrants and under-aged voters.
