Must read

An NNPP member representing Tarauni Federal Constituency, Mukhtar Umar Yarima, has reclaimed seat at the Court of Appeal on Saturday.

In August, the election of Mr Yarima was invalid by the National and State House of Assembly elections petition tribunal in Kano.

The Justice I.P. Chima-led tribunal had declared Mr Yerima ineligible for presenting a forged copy of his primary school certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

But the appellate court disagreed with the tribunal, saying the tribunal had failed to establish a case of forgery.
