Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), misplaced his two mobile phones at the tribunal session in Abuja on Tuesday. 

Obi had arrived at the tribunal accompanied by Datti Baba-Ahmed, vice presidential candidate, Chimamanda Adichie, award-winning novelist, and other political associates.

In a trending video, Obi was seen looking distraught while he searched for the devices.

“I came in with two of them (phones) here,” he told Datti who sought to know what was wrong.

However, a source later confirmed to TheCable that the phones were found.

Obi who came third in the election and his party had filed a joint petition in March challenging the outcome of the February 25 poll.

They are asking the court to nullify the victory of President Bola Tinubu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The petitioners as well as the respondents adopted their final written addresses on Tuesday.

The five-member panel of justices led by Harunna Tsammani reserved judgment adding that a date would be communicated to parties.
