The National Industrial Court sitting in Benin City, Edo State, has restrained all parties involved in the ongoing legal tussle over the dissolution of the Edo State Independent Electoral Commission (EDSIEC) from taking any action that could undermine the final outcome of the suit.
Papers News reports that Justice A. Adewemimo, who presided over the matter, issued the interim order on July 22, 2025, following a motion filed by counsel to the claimants, Gabriel Uduafi.
The case was filed by the late former Chairman of EDSIEC, Justice James Oyomire (retd.), and six other commission members, Mrs. Gladys Idahor, Uduafi Gabriel, Mr. Felix Ebhota, Mr. Anthony Okekuoyen, Mr. Michael Ekhaisomi, and Mr. Vincent Aimienota, who are challenging their removal by Governor Monday Okpebholo despite their tenure not being concluded.
