- On June 20, 2018, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) received a petition from the Kogi West Senatorial District Recall Committee, requesting the recall of Senator Dino Melaye.
- The petition was signed by 188,588 registered voters in the district, which is more than the required 50% of the total registered voters in the district (183,357).
- INEC subsequently verified the signatures and confirmed that the petition was valid.
- On July 24, 2018, INEC issued a notice of recall to Senator Melaye, giving him 14 days to respond to the petition.
- Senator Melaye has since responded to the notice, denying the allegations of misconduct and corruption leveled against him.
- The recall process is now ongoing, with INEC conducting a fresh election in the Kogi West Senatorial District to determine whether Senator Melaye should be recalled or not.
