Justice Valentine Ashi
said the law says that 'he who asserts must prove; and that the
plaintiff had failed to lead the court with further evidence.
The
judge went on to say that the plaintiff should have investigated and
gotten his facts from the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), which cleared the defendant as being eligible for elections.
He
also said the plaintiff should have conducted checks at Union Secondary
School, Awkunawu, Enugu State, where the defendant said he obtained his
School Leaving Certificate as opposed to Boys’ High School, Awkunawu,
which the plaintiff claimed. The judge dismissed the suit and said the
plaintiff failed to investigate the defendant’s claims and therefore
failed to prove the forgery case against him.
