Nigeria's top court to rule on seven governor poll disputes

Nigeria's Supreme Court is due to deliver key judgements in governorship disputes across seven states.

The much-awaited verdicts will address several electoral appeals from Lagos, Kano, Plateau, Zamfara, Bauchi, Cross River and Ebonyi states.

A key focus will be two appeals challenging the election of Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

The court will also deliver judgement on the appeal filed by Plateau state Governor Caleb Mutfwang, challenging his removal by the Court of Appeal.

The decision of the Supreme Court on the cases is final.

There is increased security in the states where final decisions on who are the governors will be taken, local media report.
