ENUGU, Nigeria - A recent ruling by the Enugu Tribunal has sparked widespread debate and concern among Nigerians, particularly on social media platforms. In its decision, the tribunal stated that to prove the issue of forgery, the petitioner must provide both the original certificate and the forged one.
This decision has been met with scepticism and confusion, especially given the case context. The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) had testified under oath that they never issued a certificate to Peter Mbah, indicating that he did not complete his service. Given this testimony, many are questioning how the judges expect petitioners to present an original certificate that was never issued in the first place.
Prominent X (formerly Twitter) user Jaypee (@JaypeeGeneral), voiced his concerns, highlighting the apparent contradiction in the tribunal's ruling. "How do the judges expect petitioners to present the original certificate that NYSC DID NOT issue? NYSC never issued any certificate to Peter Mbah. He did not complete his service. NYSC testified under oath in court that they never issued Peter Mbah any certificate," Jaypee remarked.
