The Enugu State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal on Saturday refused an application for interrogatory filed by the Labour Party against Governor

LP’s Barr Chijioke Edeoga filed the application seeking to interrogate Mbah, the 2nd second defendant in the petition he filed before the Tribunal.

While delivering its ruling today, Saturday, the three-man panel, led by Justice K. M. Akano rejected Edeoga’s application. DAILY POST reports that in the pre-hearing report, the Tribunal gave the petitioners 7 days to prove their case, while the 1st respondent, INEC, has 2 days to call their witnesses. The 2nd and 3rd respondents were given 4 days each.

“But the court in its considered ruling this morning, stated that those questions can be elicited during cross examination or through the petitioner during evidence; therefore, the application for interrogatory was refused by the court.
