Court Dismisses Suit Seeking Disqualification of Wike over Alleged Forgery, Falsehood via thisdaylive
Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court on Friday dismissed a suit seeking the disqualification of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State in the March 9, 2019 governorship election.
The plaintiff, a Rivers State indigene, Elvis Chinda, had filed the suit last year praying the court to interpret certain sections of the Electoral Act which deal with presentation of forged document to the Independent National Electoral Commission by aspirant seeking clearance to contest an election.
The judge said apart from the documentary evidence obtained by the plaintiff from doubtful sources the ingredients of establishing a criminal matter were not provided to established a case of forgery against Wike. Justice Ekwo said he could not ascribe probate value to the documents purportedly obtained by the plantiff from the Independent National Electoral Commission , because the plaintiff failed to attach receipt of payment for the Certified True Copy of the documents obtained from INEC as required by law.
