Barely a week after his swearing-in as Governor of Akwa Ibom State, fresh facts have emerged on how Governor Umo Eno allegedly obtained a fake court order purporting to quash the judgement of an FCT Magistrate court which convicted him for offence of fraud against one Godwin Edet Etim, a former contract staff to Exxon Mobil Producing Nigeria Ltd.
It will be recalled that Pastor Umo Eno had also been enmeshed in a certificate and conviction scandal prior to his election and declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission as Governor of Akwa Ibom State on March 19, 2023.
Saharareporters had exclusively obtained court documents and CTC copies of judgement showing conclusively that Governor Umo Eno was indeed convicted for the crime on 20th December 2022 and thereby ineligible to contest for Governor of Akwa Ibom State.His conviction followed extensive trial at the Magistrate Court Abuja as parts of the crimes extended to Abuja, thus leading to criminal summon against Governor Eno, his arraignment, trial and conviction by Magistrate Mr.
SaharaReporters gathered that the bailiff of the Magistrate court whose name appeared in the purported certificate of service, one Mr. Daniel Ochai had deposed to an affidavit denying the Magistrate and the fraudulent proceedings and records of 11th January 2023. They also informed the National Judicial Council of the disgraceful and unprofessional conduct of the judges.
