A Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned until July 22 for further mention in a N10 billion fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by Nollywood actor Emeka Ike against the Independent National Electoral Commission and Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
The adjournment was announced on Thursday when the matter came up before the court, according to The Whistler. The case has been assigned the reference number FHC/ABJ/CS/.
The suit centers on alleged privacy breaches involving INEC and Olayinka, though specific details of the alleged violations were not disclosed in court proceedings. Emeka Ike, a prominent figure in Nigeria's film industry, is seeking N10 billion in damages through the fundamental rights enforcement mechanism.
The case involves two respondents: INEC, Nigeria's electoral body responsible for voter registration and election administration, and Olayinka, who serves as media aide to Wike in his capacity as FCT Minister. Neither INEC nor Olayinka's legal representatives provided public comment following Thursday's court session.
The matter is scheduled to return to the Federal High Court in Abuja on July 22 for further procedural steps, as reported by Naija News.
