The court permission followed an ex parte motion filed by the applicants: Shehu Sani and the PRP in petition No. EPT/KD/SN/M/02/19, had asked the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to make results sheets and incident forms available for inspection.

In the ruling of an ex-parte motion filed by J.S Kure, Counsel to Senator Shehu Sani, the Tribunal Chairman, Justice A. H.
