Court to hear suit on Buhari’s eligibility Feb 9

A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday slated February 9, to commence hearing in the suit seeking to disqualify the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari, from contesting the presidential election.
 
A legal practitioner, Max Ozoaka, had, in a suit filed last week, asked the court to stop Buhari from contesting the presidential election on the ground that the information contained in his INEC Form 001 is false.

When the matter came up on Monday, the trial judge, Justice Ademola Adeniyi, granted Ozoaka’s request for substituted service on the APC presidential candidate before fixing Monday, next week, for hearing of the case.

Among the questions for the court’s determination is, “Whether or not the document purported to be the statement of result/result sheet of the 1st defendant’s (Buhari) Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE) provided by the Government College, Katsina and the Katsina State ministry of education is truly and correctly that of Buhari as stated in his affidavit submitted by INEC as the name in the said document.”  ...NigerianTribune
