O: Did you ask the Guinean authorities about this passport if it truly exists
W: The former president of Guinea Alpha Conde already said Tinubu has the citizenship. That’s all
Olanipekun on the top of his voice: Will you just answer the question.
Did you ask any authorities
W: Alpha Conde said he was the one that gave the citizenship

Justice Tsammani: Witness please, I know you are a lawyer, just answer his question
W: Alpha Conde said
Justice Bello: What is the problem, answer the question
O: Thank you my lords. Witness did you ask any Guinean authorities
W: Alpha Conde said
‘The entire courtroom burst into laughter.
Olanipekun: This Guinean passport Expired in 2020 witness
Witness: The data page expired and not the citizenship. Tinubu is still their citizen.
Olanipekun: Witness would you want anyone to scandalize you
W: That is why I won’t involve in forgery of documents so that nobody would scandalize me.
Olanipekun is now shouting again: Witness would you just answer the question. I said would you want anyone, anybody at all to just scandalize you
Justice Bolaji: He has answered you please. We got his answer
Witness: Thank you my lord. I don’t forge documents.
Olanipekun: Okay my lord. That would be all.
