Hon. Okino Aloysius Adeiza of the Peoples Democratic Party , had on 31st October, 2018, filed a pre-election matter, challenging the qualification of Idris who ran and won election into the constituency under the ruling All Progressives Congress , alleging that he forged his National Diploma certificate which was obtained from Yaba College of Technology, Lagos.
Our findings also revealed that Hon. Adeiza had challenged same ND certificate at the tribunal and court of appeal in 2015 when he was defeated at the poll, but lost at both courts for lack of sufficient proofs. In a writ of summons filed by counsel to the Plaintiff, Reuben Egwuaba , the court was prayed to nullify Hon. Idris’ nomination on the ground that his ND certificate was forged.
In a preliminary objection raised by the counsels to Hon. Idris, AA Ibrahim and Tawada Adams , the court was urged to dismiss the suit as it was in a clear abuse of court process and it was statured barred.The court held that, since the issue of certificate forgery had been settled by the Tribunal and court of appeal in 2015 for lack of proofs, “the action is an abuse of court process and also statured barred”.
Justice Taiwo dwelt on 4th alteration number 21 of the 2017 amendment to section 285 of 1999 Constitution as amended and thereby dismissed the entire suit.
