Joined as first to third defendants/respondents in the suit numbered FHC/L/CS/569/21 are LASIEC; Lagos Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice and the Independent National Electoral Commission At the resumption of proceedings Monday, other political parties including the African Action Congress , African Peoples Movement and BOOT informed the court of their intention to join as plaintiffs.
Responding, Mr Pinheiro prayed the court to adjourn proceedings till after the annual vacation of the court because, among others, the intending parties who said they had filed a notice to join the suit, had yet to serve him and until that was done, the case could not go on. He argued further that the failure of any party to comply with the law guiding the issue of service, would rob the court of jurisdiction to entertain the case because “service is very fundermental before a case can be properly adjudicated on.”
