AAC presidential candidate, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, has shared court documents showing the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, seeking to set aside a subpoena for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s election records.
The application, filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja, concerns Sowore’s criminal case, identified as FHC/CR/484/2025.
The subpoena seeks INEC Form CF01 records for Tinubu’s 1999 Lagos governorship and 2023 presidential candidacies, including an affidavit concerning lost certificates.
In its motion, Amupitan asks the court to set aside the subpoena, arguing that it was not personally served on him as required by law.
The application also says the forms described in the subpoena are unknown to the applicant and are not in his custody.
An accompanying affidavit states that the subpoena was served at INEC headquarters on November 6, but not personally on the chairman.
It further argues that Amupitan is not a party to Sowore’s criminal case and did not make the requested documents.
The motion describes the subpoena as invalid and alleges that Sowore’s request was brought in bad faith.
Sowore characterized INEC’s application as an attempt to avoid producing the records and called for their release.
He also linked his criticism to the hashtags #TinubuMustGo and #RevolutionNow.
The court documents show INEC is asking for the subpoena to be set aside.
They do not indicate that the court has ruled on the application.
