Alleged Certificate Forgery: Governor Mbah Prays Court to Dismiss NYSC’s Objection To His N20bn Suit

 

Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah has begged a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja to throw out a preliminary objection filed by the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) against his N20 billion suit over alleged certificate forgery.

 

This was made pubic by Mbah’s counsel, Christopher Oshomegie, SAN.

 

Oshomegie urged Justice Inyang Ekwo on Tuesday to dismiss the objection on the grounds that sections cited in the NYSC Act were not applicable in the instant suit.

 

According to him, a counter affidavit and a written address had been filed in response to the preliminary objection.

 

He said, “We adopt our written address as our oral argument to the preliminary objection in urging my lord to dismiss their application."

 

Earlier, Aminu Sadauki, counsel for the NYSC, told the court that the matter was fixed for Tuesday for the hearing of their objection.

 

Sadauki, who adopted the objection, argued that Mbah contravened the NYSC Act in the institution of the suit.

 

However, NAN reports that Justice Ekwo eventually adjourned the matter until September 22 for the ruling.
