Kogi: Tribunal Adjourns Indefinitely For SDP’s Election Materials Inspection

The Kogi State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Lokoja has been adjourned indefinitely pending the completion of an inspection of election materials by the Social Democratic Party.

At the resumed hearing on Wednesday, the SDP said the INEC was cooperating with the inspection of materials as granted by the order of the tribunal but sought more time.

The tribunal had ordered INEC to issue certified copies of electoral materials for the November 11 off-cycle election in the state to the SDP within 48 hours.

It also ordered INEC to allow the SDP’s forensic experts to examine some electoral materials.

The materials include the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System and result sheets for Adavi, Okene, Okehi, Ogori-Magongo, Ajaokuta, Lokoja, Kogi and Bassa Local Government Areas.
