Tribunal directs INEC to produce Adeleke’s certificates

The Osun election petitions tribunal in Osogbo has ordered INEC chairman Mahmoud Yakubu, to produce senator Ademola Adeleke’s results used during the 2018 governorship election in the state.

The document tagged: INEC form CF001 is being demanded by counsel for APC, the petitioners.

In his ruling, the tribunal chairman, justice Tertsea Kume, gave the order on the arguments and counter arguments by both the petitioners and the respondents’ counsel as regard the INEC form cf001.

Kume said it would amount to denying the petitioners their right to fair hearing, after the respondent (INEC) had failed to comply with the subpoena order as regard what the petitioners were demanding for.

He said the Osun Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr Mutiu Agboke, represented by one Shehu Muhammed, failed to produce the form CF001 on the excuse that they do not have the document in their custody in the state.

He ordered INEC chairman to produce the document on the next date of adjournment.

Kume, therefore, adjourned the case until Dec.1 for further hearing.
