The Federal High Court, Abuja has restrained the National Youth Service Corps from further publishing a disclaimer, denying the issuance of a certificate dated January 6, 2003 to the Enugu State Governor-elect, Mr Peter Mbah.

Ruling on an ex parte application moved by Mr Emeka Ozoani, SAN, on behalf of Mbah, Justice Inyang Ekwo also barred the NYSC Director, Corps Certification, Mr Ibrahim Muhammad, from continuing to issue a disclaimer to the effect that Mbah’s NYSC certificate was not issued by the corps.

Ozoani brought the motion under Section 13 & of the Federal High Court Act Cap F12, Vol. 6, Law of Federation of Nigeria, 2004, and Order 26 Rule 6 of the Federal High Court Rules 2019.The judge, however, refused to grant prayer two saying that it was far-reaching but rather ordered the plaintiff to put the defendants on notice.Consequently, the trial judge ordered the applicant to serve the defendants with court processes within two days of the order.

Mbah said upon completing the Bar Part I exam, he had to wait for the Bar Part 2 programme and was advised that instead of spending time idling around, he should proceed to the mandatory one-year NYSC programme.
