Appeal Court Orders Substituted Service On Dickson

The Court of Appeal in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has granted
an application to serve Senator Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa West) the
Notice of Appeal and Appellant’s Brief of Argument by substituted
means.

The application, which was moved by the applicant’s lawyer, E.
A. Aluzu, prayed the court to order substituted service on Dickson
(third respondent) by pasting same at his last known address after
attempts to serve him failed.

The suit, which was instituted by Owoupele Eneoriekumoh, was
dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

Owoupele challenged Dickson’s eligibility to contest the
senatorial by-election after allegedly submitting false information
and documents to the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC).
