At the resumed sitting of the tribunal, lawyer to the electoral umpire, Mr Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN), informed the tribunal that having called 16 witnesses, the Commission is satisfied with the weight of the evidence given by the witnesses.
He told the tribunal that the Commission does not intend calling more witnesses and as such applied to close their case.
The application was not opposed by the lawyer to the petitioners.
Justice Suleiman Ambrosa consequently adjourned hearing of the petition to September 30, to enable Governor Nyesom Wike open his defence.
