The application, which was moved by the applicant’s lawyer, E. A. Aluzu, prayed the court to order substituted service on Dickson (third respondent) by pasting same at his last known address after attempts to serve him failed.
The suit, which was instituted by Owoupele Eneoriekumoh, was dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
Owoupele challenged Dickson’s eligibility to contest the senatorial by-election after allegedly submitting false information and documents to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
