A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a certificate forgery suit filed against Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State by the All Progressives Congress and one of its members, Edobor Williams.
Justice Ahmed Mohammed, in his judgment, held that the plaintiffs failed to prove their claim that the Governor who is in his second term in office, forged the academic certificates he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission before the September 19 governorship election in the state.
The judge said the plaintiffs should have made efforts to cross-check their claim with the University of Ibadan and the West African Examination Council, the institutions that issued the certificates in question.
He therefore described the plaintiffs’ attitude as lazy.
