Court Dismisses APC’s Certificate Forgery Suit Against Obaseki

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has on Saturday dismissed the alleged certificate forgery suit filed against Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki.

Justice Ahmed Mohammed delivered the judgment of the suit filed by the All Progressives Party (APC) and a chieftain of the party, Williams Edobor, against the governor.

The APC and Edobor had filed the suit alleging that Governor Obaseki presented a fake certificate to seek re-election in the Edo State governorship election.
