Nigeria Election Court Expunges 10 Witness Statements from 13 Labour Party Witnesses

The presidential election petition has disqualified the statements of 10 witnesses of the Labour Party from the records of evidence on the grounds that they are inadmissible.

This implies that out of the 13 witnesses that Peter Obi called during the hearing of his petition, only three are deemed Admissible.

The court said the dismissal was on the grounds that the witnesses were individuals with stakes in the Labour Party, thus making their witness testimonies likely to be skewed in the party’s favor.

On the 18,088 blurred polling unit results, the PEPC said that Obi and the Labour Party had failed to state the particular polling units whose results were downloaded from the INEC results viewing portal or IREV.

This too was struck out and expunged from the record of evidence of the Court.
