A Federal Capital Territory High Court has adjourned to June 28, a suit instituted by a former member of the House of Representatives, Rita Odichi, who is asking the court to restrain the Nigeria Police Force from investigating her over allegation of possession of fake WAEC result used to contest the 2015 and 2023 elections.
Justice Bello Kawu adjourned the matter on grounds that it was not listed for hearing on Wednesday, being the original adjourned date.
Rita Odichi is currently in a legal battle with the police over a petition written against her and submitted to the Force Headquarters, that she contested the seat of Ajeromi-Ifelodun federal constituency in 2015 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party and also contested for same office in the 2023 election, with a fake WAEC result.
The police had invited her for interrogation but she turned down the invitation and rather approached a High Court to enforce a restraining order and her fundamental human rights.
