Election Petition Tribunal not battleground - Justice Adeniyi

The panel was to have had its inaugural sitting early last week but could not hold because the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, embarked on industrial action and locked all courts in the state.

He said: “The tribunal is not a battleground, and we shall proceed seamlessly and without delay. We shall discharge our duties to the best of our abilities and always remain mindful of the oath we took. We assure all litigants of a fair trial, and we will not entertain any form of interference from any quarter and shall report any attempt to interfere with the tribunal to the security agencies.”

A member of the inner bar, Murtala Abdul-Rasheed, SAN, who also spoke, said the Nigerian public and the international community will be looking at how the tribunal carries out its assignment.
