A high court sitting in Imo state on Tuesday ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to issue certificate of return to Rochas Okorocha .

Okay.ng had reported that Justice Okon Abang of a Federal high Court in Abuja, asked INEC to issue the certificate of return to the former governor.

However, Ngozi Ukoha, a judge, restrained INEC from “departing from its decision not to issue a certificate of return in respect of Imo west senatorial district election.”

The judge gave the order while ruling on an application filed by Osita Izunaso of the All Progressives Grand Alliances (APGA), pending the determination of the motion on notice challenging the victory of Okorocha who is of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
