A Senatorial candidate of the People’s Redemption Party (PRP) for Bauchi Central zone in the 2019 election Bappa Aliyu has presented pieces of evidence on the alleged falsification of certificates suit he instituted against Senator Halliru Dauda Jika of the All Progressive Congress (APC) who defeated him at the last polls.

Counsel to the PRP candidate Barrister Marcel Oru who presented the pieces of evidence before the National Assembly election petition tribunal sitting in Bauchi said that with the pieces of evidence so far tendered by them, they have closed the case and await judgement.

“The petitioner has tendered his pieces of evidence and called witnesses. Our case is simple, Halliru Dauda Jika is not qualified to contest in the first place as a senator. He has presented false documents to INEC in 2018 for the February 2019 election. That is a disqualifying factor.”

“The expectation is that the tribunal will do its work and at the end, we pray that justice shall be done.” He said.

Meanwhile, counsel to Jika Barrister Kenechukwu Azi said they disputed the documents tendered by the petitioner as pieces of evidence.

He said they will present their defense in the next adjourned date as the plaintiff exhausted all their pieces of evidence and closed the case.

However, Chairman of the tribunal Hafsa Abdulrahman who entertains the case adjourned sitting to next week on Tuesday for the first respondent to open his defense.
