The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit filed by three individuals seeking to stop the May 29 inauguration on the grounds that the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, provided false information about his age and citizenship status to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Justice James Omotosho ruled on Friday that the lawsuit filed by Praise Ilemona Isaiah, Pastor Paul Isaac Audu, and Anongu Moses was groundless and an abuse of the court system.

Justice Omotosho ruled that the plaintiffs lacked standing to file the lawsuit and that the court lacked the authority to hear the case because it involved a presidential election.

Justice Omotosho’s decision comes approximately forty minutes after the Supreme Court dismissed a second lawsuit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking to nullify the candidatures of Tinubu and Kashim Shettima.
