The Spokesman representing INEC, Rotimi Oyekanmi, revealed that INEC "received the court papers on Monday but was yet to study it".........

While speaking with Premium Times on Monday, Mr. Rotimi said, “We have a copy of the court ruling now, so we have to study it and make a decision, and that will take a while". He also mentioned that the" commission would proceed with the process because it had not been served with the ruling".
It's been revealed that 'an Abuja Division of the Federal High Court had last Thursday ordered parties involved in the planned recall of Mr. Melaye to maintain status quo'.
Mike Ozekhome, counsel to Mr. Melaye had explained that maintaining status quo meant the commission should halt the plan to proceed with the senator’s recall.
“The court gave an order exparte saying that parties should maintain status quo until it hears our motion for interlocutory injunction; because we had filed a motion for interlocutory injunction,” Mr. Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, said

“Now parties have all been asked to let things remain as they are, till September 29 when the Court will entertain arguments on the interlocutory seeking to stop INEC from proceeding with the recall.”
