Daughter of the former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Maurice Iwu, Mrs Ijeoma Nwafor, has been accused of forging her National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) discharge certificate and tax clearance.

Mrs. Nwafor is an aspirant for the seat of Mbaitoli/Ikeduru Federal Constituency in Imo State, under the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

One of the petitions signed by one Francis Okoro alleged that Mrs. Nwafor, in her publicized profile and biography, showed that she was working on a full time basis in the United States of America (USA) the same period she claimed that she did her national youth service in Lagos State, Nigeria.

He further alleged that Mrs. Nwafor claimed to have served as a professor of Psychology at Harford Community College, Maryland, between 2004–2007 and an adjunct professor at Towson University her alma mater between 2003–2007, which also fall within the period she claimed to have served in Lagos.

While Okoro claimed that Mrs. Nwafor forged her NYSC certificate following the contradiction in her profile, another petitioner, who gave his name as Mr. Felix Nwaneri, alleged in his petition, also addressed to PDP screening committee, accused Nwafor of fraudulently acquiring tax clearance certificate.
