Court dismisses Emeka Ike’s N10bn damages suit against Wike’s aide and INEC

The Federal High Court in Abuja dismissed Nollywood actor Emeka Ike’s N10 billion suit against Lere Olayinka, an aide to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, and the electoral commission INEC. Justice Salim Ibrahim ruled that the case was incompetent and improperly constituted, and dismissed its merits for lack of proof. Ike had accused Olayinka of posting confidential details on X about the transfer of his voter registration from Imo to Abuja, and argued that INEC failed to protect his personal data. He sought damages, removal of the post and a written apology.
