Dino Melaye: Court merges suits seeking to stop Senator’s recall
The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Monday consolidated two different suits seeking to stop the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from initiating the process of recalling Senator Dino Melaye (APC, Kogi).
Justice Nnamdi Dimgba allowed for the suits filed by Melaye and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to be consolidated, to avoid having conflicting judgments since the subject matter of both suits were similar.
The application to consolidate the APC suit to the one filed by Melaye was brought by counsel to the party, Mr O.D. Atoyebi.

Dimgba directed the APC lawyer to serve all processes on all the parties.
Dimgba had earlier granted the application of some interested parties seeking to join the suit as defendants and plaintiff respectively.
Olowo Cornelius, John Ajorin and Malam Yusuf Adamu (the petitioners) had sought to be joined as co-defendants, while Michael Olowoleyemo, applied to be joined as co-plaintiff.
Ruling on the applications argued by Anthony Adeniyi for parties seeking to be joined as defendants, the court held that joining the parties was for “effectual and complete” adjudication of the matter.
Justice Dimgba adjourned hearing to August 11.
