COURT ORDERS INEC CHAIRMAN TO PRODUCE TINUBU’S 1999, 2023 ELECTION RECORDS IN SOWORE TRIAL
The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan to produce President Bola Tinubu’s nomination documents from the 1999 Lagos governorship election and the 2023 presidential election in Omoyele Sowore’s ongoing cybercrime trial. The subpoena specifically seeks Tinubu’s 1999 Form CF001, including an affidavit concerning lost certificates, and his 2023 Form CF001. Justice Mohammed Garba Umar also approved a subpoena for APC chieftain Joe Igbokwe and adjourned the trial until November 11 for the defense witnesses to appear. The order does not amount to a finding of wrongdoing against Tinubu.
