A former governor of Benue State and Senator representing Benue North-West Senatorial District of Benue State, George Akume har been dragged before a Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged forgery of his West African Examination Council WAEC certificate.
The plaintiff, Philip Agbese through counsel, Amobi Nzelu is praying for a declaration that Akume did not posses the certificate number SCO39633 allegedly issued to him by GSS Otukpo, Benue State in 1971.
Joined in the suit are WAEC, INEC,IGP and NYSC as 2nd to 5th defendants.
Agbese, an indigene of Benue state and a civil rights activist residing in Abuja, also asked the court to declare that the result allegedly issued to Akume by WAEC did not belong to him and that the defendant did not obtain any degree from the University of Ibadan or any recognised university in Nigeria.
He also asked the court to declare that whatsoever documents that were presented to INEC by Akume consequent upon which he was cleared to contest the gubernatorial election in Benue State especially the WAEC No SCO39633 and the University of Ibadan certificate and NYSC discharge certificate No. O43655 were false.
He also wanted a declaration that th senatorial seat of Benue North-West senatorial district of Benue State being occupied by Akume was vacant having not possessed the requisite qualification to contest for the said position.
Therefore, since our dear senator cannot prove and convince us that he actuàlly obtained those said results, he should stop parading himself as a senator. I rest my case:-D:-x;-)
