The Federal High Court in Jalingo, Taraba State capital has dismissed a case of certificate forgery against the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Taraba, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha.
Justice Bala Usman also struck out the case that borders on false information tendered to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) against Bwacha for “lack of sufficient evidence.”
Delivering the judgement late Saturday night in the suit filed by Chief David Sabo Kente, a Chieftain of the APC in Taraba and an aspirant at the last governorship primaries of the party in the state, Justice Usman said that the plaintiff could not prove his case of criminal forgery against the defendant beyond any reasonable doubt as required by law.
The judge said that the plaintiff was not able to call those institutions where the respondent had gotten certificates to serve as witnesses in the suit
