Court Adjourns Emeka Ike's N10bn Suit Against INEC
The Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned the N10 billion fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by Nollywood actor Emeka Ike against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and Lere Olayinka, a media aide to Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, until July 22. The case, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1272/2026, was presided over by Justice S.O.
Ibrahim. During the proceedings, L.T.
Adeh, counsel for the plaintiff, informed the court that the first respondent had been served with the notice of the suit. However, INEC was absent, prompting the court to adjourn to allow the electoral body to appear.
Akpama Ekw, representing the first respondent, did not oppose the application for adjournment. The suit stems from allegations that Olayinka unlawfully disclosed Ike's personal voter registration details to the media, which Ike claims was done without his consent.
He seeks damages for the alleged breach of privacy and demands the removal of the social media post containing his information.
