Rivers Election Tribunal receives 17 petitions

The Rivers State Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja on Tuesday said that it had so far received 17 petitions from the 2015 general elections.
The Tribunal Secretary, Mrs Deborah Musa, who did not give the breakdown, revealed this in Abuja.
It will be recalled that the tribunal relocated to Abuja, following security threats.
Musa had, in a statement, stated that the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, approved the relocation of the tribunal to Abuja.
Musa, however, said the tribunal would be sitting at Court 20 and Court 23 of the Apo High Court complex in Abuja.
