The Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday dismissed N10 billion rights suit filed by the Nollywood actor Emeka Ike against Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Justice Salim Ibrahim, in a judgment, upheld the preliminary objections of the respondents on the grounds that the suit was incompetent and improperly constituted.
Court dismisses Emeka Ike’s N10bn damages suit against Wike’s aide, INEC.
Justice Ibrahim also dismissed the main suit on the ground of lack of proof.
The minister’s aide, through a post on X in May, was alleged to have mocked Ike by leaking his confidential voter registration details on social media.
The post was said to have shown details of Ike’s voter registration transfer from Imo to the nation’s capital.
Meanwhile, Ike, in the suit filed by L. T. Adeh, sued Olayinka and INEC as 1st and 2nd respondents in the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1272/2026.
