Rubbish!...Medicine after death. It took the court 80yrs to come up with that judgement. Shithole country! Snail pace Judiciary! Lifeless president!

Medicine after death, this is one problem with our judiciary system.
So since 2018, it is now they are able to give judgement in simple case like this.

Sai Baba and his kangaroo Judgement... the question is not if she need it or not, but why she presented forged certificates... oh forgery is not a crime now Anyway she forge like her boss

So in summary NYSC is useless?

At the picture ...kemi nor fine reach like that na

A landmark judgement indeed! What else are we waiting on more to be destroyed by this group of charlatans and nitwits masquerading as leaders.
I believe, this is the zenith of corruption! Twisting the law by the head just to favour their pay masters. Forgetting that the law and judgements delivered are based on precedence; what a bad one.
The question still looms, did she forge a certificate?

What about Minister of Finance that failed ICAN and FIRS Chairman that doesn't even have ICAN.

Chief Olanipekun SAN always good at his game. Hope madam can have some peace of mind now.

Okay, but she still need to go to jail for forgery.

"It is better to have a certificate that you do not need, than to need a certificate that you do not have"

We ought to do the right things always.

Afonjas trying to clean the name of their dirty corrupt certificate forger

DoggoneDogg:
She needs NEPA bill just like her boss

i thought the boss was long dead and being cloned

Abi was there more than a boss @Asorock?

She deserved to be compensated by Federal Government for psychological trauma and emotional embarrassment she was subjected to while an honorable Minister of Finance of the Federal Republic. This is how people of integrity are frustrated out of office while mediocre and fantastically corrupt bigot are celebrated .
We are proud of you Ma for following the suit to a logical conclusion and finally justice is served and you are discharged and acquitted.

So why d forgery

Lol that makes her situation even dumber. You forged a document pointlessly...

We know she was removed so that a northern fulani Muslim can be brought in,in the same way a southern CJ,Onoge was removed with a flimsy excuse for a sharia lawyer.

I thought the real case was about forgery

Whether she needed it or not, her crime was forgery.

So what will now happen

actually this is what they should be asking

Narldon:


Noted.

But did she forge NYSC certificate or not?

BruncleZuma:
So why did she need to forge one...which the last time I checked is a capital offence and tantamount to Obtaining by Tricks (OBT)

Section 465 of the Criminal Code Act, forgery is defined thus:

“A person who makes a false document or writing knowing it to be false, and with intent that it may in any way be used or acted upon as genuine, whether in the State or elsewhere, to the prejudice of any person, or with intent that any person may, in the belief that it is genuine, be induced to do or refrain from doing any act, whether in the State or elsewhere, is said to forge the document or writing”.

Section 467 of the Criminal Code Act states the penalty for forgery in Nigeria thus:

Any person who forges any document, writing, or seal, is guilty of an offense which, unless otherwise stated, is a felony, and he is liable, if no other punishment is provided, to imprisonment for three years.

Thus, if you are tried and convicted of forgery, you are to serve a jail term of 3 years IF there is no other sentencing. What this means is that depending on what the accused forged, he or she can be tried and sentenced according to other laws binding the other area of trespass.

Note however, that the same section states that if the forged item is a public seal, the suspect can face conviction of life imprisonment.

An offender is liable to fourteen years imprisonment if the forged item is a register, security, title, anything related to revenue or an act of the state.

A forgery of court records, evidences, seals, process, exhibits, etc. fetches the convicted forger a seven year jail term.

Section 468 of the Criminal Code Act states that:

“Any person, who knowingly and fraudulently utters a false document or writing, or a counterfeit seal, is guilty of an offense of the same kind and is liable to the same punishment as if he had forged the thing in question”.

Oga, do you know the meaning of capital offense?

So they should scrap the NYSC then and stop wasting people’s time

Una dey craze. So why una wan kill me on top NYSC certificate before? Na poor man law dey hold.

lekanolaolu:
So NYSC discharge certificate wasn't needed after all.

If only she knew, she wouldn't have forged it

Narldon:


Noted.

But did she forge NYSC certificate or not?

She did not - unlike many of our seating senators and reps members

Nigeria is truly a scam.

This woman resigned because she was outed for having obtained a fake exemption certificate ie one not issued by NYSC but procured at Oluwole.

She did not resign because she did not do NYSC.

Only functional illiterates cannot discern the difference.

PS. What is the crime for forgery. Someone should help me check

tahlee:
.

Seun should ban comments such as this. How can someone come to Nairaland and just put a dot as a comment? Nonesense.

KEMI ADEOSUN: CONGRATS.

So she shouldn't have forged the NYSC exemption certificate.

Or was that not what unraveled her ministerial tenure?

The issue was that she obtained a fraudulent exemption letter . And in saner climes , she would be in prison . She ran and left Nigeria the same day she resigned .

It is an attempt to clear her before the next election that’s why the sole defendant was AGF of the same government that protected her and I believe Osinbanjo is the one behind this .
For me this is the clearest indication that that man might be fielded

Nairalanders hate to read
