A suit instituted by the Seventh Day Adventist Church (SDA), seeking the stoppage of conduct of elections and examinations on Saturdays was on Wednesday dismissed by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja for being frivolous.

The presiding judge, James Omotoso held that the suit filed against the Federal Government was “frivolous, vexatious, irritating baseless and liable to be dismissed for want of merit.

Justice Omotoso held that the fundamental rights being claimed by the Church were not at large and cannot be curtailed by government policy.

It was the opinion of the court that the Seventh Day Adventist Church is in the minority in Nigeria and cannot impose its doctrine on the majority of other religious denominations in the country.

Recall that the SDA had argued that Saturday is its Sabbath day of worship and that the fundamental rights of its members are being violated and infringed upon by the conduct of elections and examinations on Saturdays.

Specifically, the plaintiff had prayed the Court to prohibit the Federal Government of Nigeria from further conducting elections and examinations on the Sabbath day (Saturday) so as to stop disruption of their rights to worship.
