A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has fixed March 20 to deliver judgment in a suit filed by a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Ugochukwu Uchenwa seeking to stop the conduct of elections and examinations on Saturdays.
Uchenwa, who is an elder of the church, filed the suit on the grounds that fixing elections and examinations on Saturdays violated his rights and those of other members of the church to freedom of worship.
His Counsel, Benjamin Amefule said if INEC could not stop conducting polls on Saturday, it should compel INEC to mark out a different day for the members of the church to participate in their own elections.
Subsequently, Justice James Omotosho fixed the date for judgement after listening to the counsel’s arguments for and against the suit.
