A joint statement by six civil society groups urged the security agencies to allow the media and observers full access to collation centres for transparency.
The group said ignorance about violence against women or the VAPP law was no longer an excuse, but a choice, and asked victims to report cases of abuse.
The female lawmakers say little progress has been made to increase women’s participation in Nigerian politics.
The bodies are asking the court to cause the defendants to prevent Ms Onochie from appointed as INEC commissioner.
