Edo 2020: Court strikes out certificate forgery case against Obaseki

A federal high court in Abuja has dismissed a suit seeking the disqualification of governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo, from the upcoming governorship election in the state for alleged forgery.

Edobor Williams, Ugesia Godwin and Amedu Anakhu had filed the case alleging that the governor forged his academic certificate.

But when the case was called in court on Monday, neither the legal representatives of Obaseki’s accusers, nor the plaintiff showed up.

Justice Anwuli Chikere consequently struck out the case.
