In a swift turn of fate, A Federal High Court
sitting in Abuja has ordered INEC to
immediately nullify the election of Benue
politician, Christian Abah after allegations of
certificate forgery leveled against him by his
political rival, Mr. Hassan Saleh, was
established to be true.
Christian Abah was elected in the just
concluded general election to represent the
Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal
Constituency in the forthcoming 8th
National Assembly.
In his judgement, the presiding judge,
Justice Adeniyi Ademola said investigations
so far carried out by the court showed that
Chris Ada presented a forged Ordinary
National Diploma certificate in Accountancy
he said he obtained from the Federal
Polytechnic, Mubi, in 1985.
According to the judge, an earlier judgment
of the National/State Assembly Election
Petition Tribunal sitting in Makurdi delivered
on September 6, 2011, and a letter by the
Registrar of the polytechnic, Mr. Suleiman
Buba, proved that the certificate presented
by Abah to INEC was forged.
Justice Ademola declared his election
invalid and stated that all votes accrued by
him during the election was invalid as well.
His rival, Hassan Saleh who came second
during the election was declared winner of
the election by the court. Justice Ademola
ordered the Inspector-General of Police, Mr.
Solomon Arase, to immediately commence
prosecution of Abah for forgery and perjury.
