Former House of Reps Member Rita Orji drags police to court over a fake WEAC certificate as the court adjourns

The case of fake West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) certificate against a former member of the House of Representatives, representing Ajeromi/Ifelodun federal constituency, Rita Orji has been adjourned to the 28th of June, 2023.

A petitioner (name withheld) petitioned the Police Force Headquarters before the 2023 general elections, alleging that Orji uses a fake WAEC certificate.

Acting on the petition, the force headquarters invited her multiple times for questioning, investigation, and possible prosecution over the allegation.

Instead of honouring the invitation, Rita dragged the police command before the Federal High Court, sitting in the Apo area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, praying the court to restrain the command from investigating her.

She also argued that the police were infringing on her fundamental human right.

Justice Bello Kawu of the Federal High Court sitting in Apo, Abuja has adjourned the case to June 28th for a hearing.

Orji was elected to the House of Representatives between 2015 and 2019 under the People's Democratic Party (PDP).

She lost her 2019 re-election bid to Kolawole Taiwo of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Taiwo polled 36,115 votes to defeat Rita Orji, who got 32,557 votes.

She also lost the PDP primary in the 2023 general election.

Nice one

Hmm... who be this one again?

I don't understand how people will ask court to stop being investigated from crime they actually committed, and the court complies sometimes. Someone In this country has a 'perpetual injunction' against law enforcement agents, a thief o. I think our constitution and justice system need to be reviewed, this time by young minds.

Imagine Rita Orji in Lagos as House of Rep member.. ..

Have they not been enjoying democracy in Lagos for Long..

Confused and Ingrate set of people
