A human rights organisation under the aegis of the Incorporated Trustees of Advocacy for Social Right Advancement and Development Initiative has told Justice Mobolaji Olajuwon of a Federal High Court in Abuja, that the St. Paul Aroloya Primary School in Lagos which the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, claimed to have attended was never in existence.
According to the group, documents it obtained from INEC regarding Tinibu’s Form CF 001 submitted in aid of his qualification to contest the position of Governor, Lagos State in 1999 listed St. Paul Aroloya , Children Home School, Ibadan and University of Chicago as institutions Tinubu attended.
While stating that the respondent was under constitutional and statutory obligation/duty to investigate Tinubu for the alleged offence of perjury, the applicant submitted that it would be in the interest of justice to compel the police to investigate the presidential candidate for the alleged crime. Amongst the reliefs sought from the court is a declaration that by virtue of Section 215 and 2 of the Constitution and Sections 7, 31 and 32 of the Nigeria Police Act, 2020, the IGP was under both constitutional and statutory obligation to investigate Tinubu for the offence of perjury contained in the INEC Form CF 001, sworn to by him on December 20, 1999, regarding his educational qualification.
