The Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, yesterday adjourned indefinitely the suit asking it to restrain the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from releasing the voters register to the State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) and the government for the local government elections. Justice Lambo Akombi adjourned indefinitely following the report of the counsel to RSIEC and the government, Beluolisa Nwofor (SAN), that an appeal was before the Court of Appeal challenging the jurisdiction of a Federal High Court in a matter concerning a council poll. Nwofor said there was a motion on notice restraining further injunctions/proceedings on the matter by the High Court, until the higher court would have determined the matter. He said a Federal High Court has nothing to do, by jurisdiction, in a matter concerning local government and is not qualified to hear it.
