A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed the application by Senator Dino Melaye challenging moves by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to effect his recall.

Justice Nnamdi Dimgba on Monday held that all the complaints made by Melaye lack merit and deserve to be dismissed.

On the complain of lack of fair hearing by the constituents before forwarding the recall petition to INEC, the judge said it lacks merit and dismissed it.

Justice Dimgba ruled that the recall process is a political question, which is beyond the court to deal with.

He said the constituents have no duty to serve the legislator a copy of the recall petition.
