The Federal Ministry of Justice has recommended the trial of three top members of the PDP in Enugu State over alleged forgery.
According to Vanguard, the recommendation by the Director of Public Prosecution, DPP, followed a petition to the police headquarters, by Hon. Dennis Oguerinwa Amadi, representing Udi/Ezeagu Federal constituency at the House of Representatives, dated July 6, 2015.
Amadi alleged that the PDP members forged documents which a former member of the National Assembly benefited even as reports indicated yesterday that the police in Abuja have invited the alleged beneficiary for questioning.
In its report submitted to the Commissioner of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau, by the Investigating Police Officer, ASP Emmanuel Mordi, the Police stated that, “considering the overwhelming evidence that flows from the finding of facts in this case, it is conclusive that the suspects may have committed the offence of conspiracy to wit: forgery, impersonation, altering and perjury.”
The DPP, Muhammad Saidu Diri, who signed the document on behalf of the Solicitor General of the Federation, noted that the DPP established a possible case of forgery and should be prosecuted.
“We have carefully perused the case file, it was discovered that the evidence available disclosed an offence of forgery which is a state offence.
“I am therefore directed to request you to forward the case file to the office of the Honourable Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice, Enugu State for prosecution,” Diri said.
