Oshiomhole’s Man Wins As Court Dismisses Certificate Forgery Case
A court process to replace one of the elected members of the Edo State House of Assembly allied to Comrade Adams Oshiomhole on account of alleged certificate forgery has been dismissed by a Federal High Court sitting in Benin, Edo State.
Dumez Ugiagbe who was elected to the Edo State House of Assembly to represent Ovia North East Constituency is, however, one of 14 members-elect who have absented from the House on account of the dispute over the inauguration of the House of Assembly last June.
His rival in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Nosa Victor Omoregie had filed an action at the court alleging that Ugiagbe forged the secondary school certificate he presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
He was, however, countered by Ugiagbe who through his counsel Paul Osarenkhoe affirmed that the court having failed to deliver judgment within 180 days as stipulated by the constitution had made the case to expire.
The court agreed with Ugiagbe’s counsel on Wednesday and as such dismissed the case.
