Ex-assemblies Leader Paul Emeka Risks Jail As AGF Takes Over Forgery Case by shinystar(m): 6:52pm On Sep 01, 2016
The Former General Superintendent of Assemblies of God Church, Reverend Paul Emeka may be on his way to jail as the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami has taken over an alleged forgery case against him.

Malami officially took over the case on Tuesday.

Emeka, who had been ex-communicated by the church, was alleged to have forged a Professorial Certificate of University of Derby, Derbyshire, England.

The AGF applied and took over prosecution of the matter, which is pending before an Abuja Upper Area Court at Gudu.

Malami predicated the application he moved through a lawyer in the Federal Ministry of Justice, Mrs. I.A. Charles Okoli, on section 106 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, ACJA, 2015 and section 174 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.

The trial of the defendant followed a direct criminal complaint that the Incorporated Trustees of the Assemblies of God Nigeria filed against him pursuant to sections 88(1) and 90 of the ACJA.

The charge bordered on forgery and use of forged document.

Specifically, the Church, which said it was duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission, told the court that the defendant was one of its trustees as at 2012 but was removed on April 30, 2015.

According to the First Information Report (FIR) before the court, “the defendant presented himself to the complainant as a Professor from University of Derby, Derbyshire, England.

“That based on the above, he was made one of the Trustees of the complainant. Sometime in January 2015, the complainant upon investigation found out that the defendant forged the professorial certificate he presented to the complainant.
