. . . Grants INEC’s prayer to reconfigure BVAS

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has dismissed a suit by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) seeking to vary the order of the court granting access to Mr Peter Obi and his party, the Labour Party to inspect the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and other election materials.

Obi was granted leave by the appellate court to inspect the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines and other sensitive materials that INEC deployed for the conduct of the 25 February poll.

It was also a win for INEC as the court granted its prayer to reconfigure BVAS.

The court had restrained INEC from tampering with the BVAS machines.

On Wednesday, the three-man panel of the court also granted the request by the President-Elect, Bola Tinubu to also inspect the election materials. (Adapted from a Channels TV report)
