A lawyer, Mike Enahoro-Ebah, has applied to a court to issue criminal summons against the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu over alleged forgery, falsification of age and lying on oath.
Mr Enahoro-Ebah sued the APC presidential candidate in three separate direct criminal complaints filed at the Chief Magistrate Court at Wuse Zone 6, Abuja.
The lawyer, in his filings, urged the chief magistrate Emmanuel Iyanna, to issue criminal summons against Mr Tinubu to appear to answer to the charges.
Citing various sections of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 and the Nigerian constitution, Mr Enahoro-Ebah alleged that Tinubu lied on oath having falsely sworn to an affidavit in support of his personal particulars submitted to INEC on 17 June, 2022.
In the case, the complainant accused Tinubu of presenting a forged Chicago State University Certificate to INEC with intent that it may be acted upon as genuine
No date has been fixed for the hearing of the case.
