JUST IN!!! Court Sets Hearing Date For Tinubu Certificate Forgery Suit
By Adeleye Kunle
The All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has been barred from running in the 2023 elections, according to an Abuja Federal High Court.
Four APC leaders had petitioned the court for Tinubu’s disqualification from the presidential election on the grounds that he allegedly provided false information to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
The plaintiffs claimed Tinubu lied in an affidavit presented to INEC in 1999, in which he claimed to have attended St Paul Aroloya Children Home School, Ibadan, from 1958 to 1964, and Government College, Ibadan, from 1965 to 1968, in a 33-paragraph affidavit in support of the suit deposed to by one Ibiang Miko Ibiang.
On an ex-parte application, the judge, Ahmed Mohammed, granted Tinubu an order for substituted service.
Goddy Uche, the plaintiffs’ counsel, informed the court that substituted service had become necessary because all attempts to serve the presidential candidate had failed.
The court ordered that court processes be served on the APC’s national secretariat and that such service be considered properly served on Tinubu.
He scheduled a hearing for September 7th.
