CERTIFICATE FORGERY: COURT DISMISSES CASE AGAINST GOVERNOR OBASEKI
Report indicates that a Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed the certificate forgery suit levelled against Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State.
In a judgement delivered on Saturday in Abuja, Justice Ahmed Mohammed dismissed the case filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC), and a chieftain of the party, Williams Edobor, against the Governor.
Recall that the APC and Edobor had filed the case claiming that the Governor falsified a certificate to seek re-election in the September 19 gubernatorial election.
They both alleged that the document was issued by the University of Ibadan (UI) while Governor Obaseki presented it to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) during the polls.

Justice Mohammed revealed that no iota of truth was presented before the court by the APC and its chieftain. He noted that it was a criminal matter, but the claimants were unable to prove their case.
He stated that the Deputy Registrar of the University of Ibadan had given evidence in the suit that the university duly issued the certificate to Governor Obaseki.
According to him, the Governor was duly and properly admitted to study Classics which was later renamed Classical Studies in 1976 and graduated in 1979.
Justice Mohammed concluded that the plaintiffs failed to prove their allegations of forgery against Governor Obaseki and, thereby, dismissed the case.
