Labour Party (LP) has called for the probe of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and suspension of INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.
Addressing reporters at the national headquarters of the party in Abuja, on Thursday, Akin Osuntokun, Director-General of the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Organisation, called for the commencement of forensic financial investigation into the expenditure of budgeted disbursements and donors’ funds received by INEC, especially the N300bn appropriated from the national purse, as well as other funds and materials, received from international donor agencies.
Osuntokun said, “While the position of INEC Chairman is constitutionally guaranteed and cannot be removed, but same attitude applied to Emefiele (suspended CBN Governor) should be applied to Yakubu because INEC has done a lot of damages that merit him being sanctioned.

A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) against the Department of State Services (DSS).
Justice James Omotosho on Thursday held that the IPOB leader’s application lacks merit and was therefore refused.
The court rejected Kanu’s request to wear Igbo attire, saying denying him the opportunity to wear such attire does not amount to a violation of human rights as alleged by the IPOB leader, according to the Agency Of Nigeria.
