MadeInTokyo:What credible informants and insiders are talking about? The so called CUPP has been crying about over split milk that never be. Read very well and you will understand their junk allegations are because the judges legally rejected their request for forensic auditing of the electoral materials. The want every decision to go their ways and when it is not they would resort to blackmailing is the game plan; a part of Dubai plan and especially since the arrow head, onnoghun is not more there. Wait and see how more crying they have ahead. 1 Like |

erico2k2:The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has rejected the request by the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and his party to be allowed to conduct forensic analysis and scanning of materials used for the conduct of the February 23 presidential election. The tribunal said such request for forensic analysis and scanning by experts, of computers, card reader machines, server, among others deployed for the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), was beyond the scope of the provisions of Section 151(1) & (2) of the Electoral Act (as amended), which permits the inspection of election materials. In a unanimous ruling on an ex-parte application by Atiku and his party, a three-man panel of the tribunal said Section 151 of the Electoral Act, which allows an intending petitioner to inspect materials used for an election only allows inspection and the obtaining of certified true copies of such materials. In the lead ruling by Justice Abdul Aboki, who led the panel, the tribunal granted the prayers which allow the applicants the permission to only inspect the materials and obtain certified true copies (CTC) of the materials. The tribunal also granted the applicant’s prayer for leave to be allowed to bring such application at the pre-hearing stage of the tribunal’s sitting. Read also: Poll: Parties join forces in Oyo, Kwara, Benue, Lagos It said the request by Atiku and PDP to call experts to engage in forensic analysis and scanning of INEC gadgets, computers, among other materials was outside the scope of the meaning of inspection under Section 151(1) and (2) of the Electoral Act. Justice Aboki said: “After a careful examination of the reliefs sought on the motion paper and a perusal of Section 151 of the Electoral Act (as amended), and the decision of this court in cases of Aregbesola v. Oyinlola, Akintayo v. Jolaoye, Senator Hope Uzodinma v. Senator Osita Izunaso,, it is hereby ordered as follows. “Leave is granted to the applicants to bring this application at this stage, “The first respondent (INEC) shall forthwith, allow the applicants and or their representatives to inspect polling documents and obtained certified true copies of all polling documents in the custody of the first respondent, used for the just-concluded presidential election, to enable the applicants institute and maintain an election petition. “Prayers three, four, five and six on the motion paper are hereby refused. “Forensic audit, examination and analysis by forensic experts cannot be regarded as an inspection of those documents within the ambit of Section 151 of the Electoral Act (as amended),” Justice Aboki said. He agreed with lawyer to the applicants, Chris Uche (SAN) that the Court of Appeal had, in previous decisions, permitted the scanning of election documents used during the election at the stage of hearing in election petition. He added that such scanned documents must be certified by INEC as true copies of the documents in its custody or held in the custody of INEC. Justice Aboki faulted Uche’s reliance on an earlier decision in the case of Senator Uzodinma and Senator Izunaso, and noted that the Court of Appeal has since set aside the permission granted by a lower tribunal for the scanning and forensic audit and analysis of election material at pre-hearing stage. He said: “In that case, the lower tribunal granted the pervasive orders brought under Section 151 of the Electoral Act. “The respondent to the said application, appealed to this court, which found that the excessive orders granted with respect to the inspection of polling documents and sundry other materials,.. were found to be totally outside the scope of Section 151 of the Electoral Act. “This court found that the orders made violated the rights of the respondents to fair hearing under Section 6 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).The orders made by the lower tribunal, in that case were set aside by this court. And orders were made, by this court, within the ambit of Section 151 of the Electoral Act.” 1 Like |

erico2k2:Thank you,you now got my drift and message but you missed something.since forensics isn't captured,the judges have the right to allow or reject it.intact its better they reject it to be on the safe side.the forensic issue is exactly like the card reader,its alien to the constitution and cant be relied upon to build a case.just like the card reader,the forensic results will be rejected.atiku has no case.the video evidence he's bringing is very minute. |
