The federal high court in Abuja has dismissed an ex-parte application seeking to stop the swearing-in of President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, ThisDay reports.

Justice Mohammed described the application from Incorporated Trustees of Advocacy for Societal Rights Advancement and Development Initiative as "self-induced urgency", owing to the plaintiff's failure to challenge Buhari's emergence as president-elect after two months of the presidential election.

"In law, an ex-parte application seeking an order of injunction presupposes the existence of a real case of urgency not self-induced urgency.

"Motion ex-parte dated and filed on 26 of May, is a clear case of self-induced urgency.

"This court is therefore of the view that the plaintiff applicant's motion dated and filed on May 26 is devoid of any merit and the same is accordingly dismissed", Justice Mohammed declared.

He adjourned the suit till June 26 for further mention.
