The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday adjourned a N10 billion rights suit filed by a Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike, against Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, until July 22 for further mention.
Justice Salim Ibrahim adjourned the case following an application for adjournment moved by counsel to the plaintiff, L.T. Adeh, to allow the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to appear in court on the next adjourned date.
When the matter was called, Adeh informed the court that the 1st respondent (Olayinka) had served its processes on them in response to the suit.
He said he would file his response to the Olayinka’s counter-affidavit between Thursday and Friday.
Adeh further told the court that though hearing notices were duly served on both respondents, the 2nd respondent (INEC) was absent.
