A Lawyer involved in the prosecution of a case challenging President Goodluck Jonathan’s eligibility in next year’s election, Wahab Olatoye, has said the vital documents needed to prosecute the case have been stolen.

He said some men broke into his office in Abuja last Friday and stole “most of the files containing documents to be used in the eligibility suit and other vital documents.”

Olatoye and Adejumo Ajagbe filed the suit before the Federal High Court, Abuja seeking an order restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Attorney- General of the Federation (AGF) from allowing Jonathan and Vice President Namadi Sambo to seek re-election next year.
Olatoye said his office at Suite 33, Manga Plaza, Garki Area 11 was burgled on Friday night and vital documents he was using to pursue his case against the President and other vital documents were taken away.

He said he had reported the incident at the Garki Police station.
“It is really a great surprise to me, when I was called on Saturday morning that my office had been burgled by yet- to-be identified persons. It was my office alone that was burgled of the offices in the plaza. The thieves came in through the ceiling and ransacked the files.
“Although, they made away with the money I left in the office, they also stole documents, especially the ones I am using in pursuing my case against the eligibility of President Jonathan to contest the election.
“As a plaintiff in the matter and a lawyer, there are some documents I need to hand over to my lawyers, which I kept in the office. My computers were also destroyed, the office safe was damaged.
“The matter has been reported at the FCDA Police Station in Garki. The police have promised to come on Monday morning for further investigation”, Olatoye said.

Olatoye and Ajagbe are contending that by the virtue of provisions of sections 132(1), 135(2)(a) and (b), 137(1)(b), 142(1) and (2) of the constitution, the President and the Vice President elected in the same election and sworn into office on the same date were taken to have been elected for one term of four years.
The plaintiffs also contended that by the virtue of the oaths taken by Jonathan and Sambo following the death of President Umaru Yar’adua in 2010 and their subsequent re-election in 2011, both of them were deemed to have completed the two terms allowed by law.
Justice Ahmed Mohammed has fixed December 1 for hearing in the suit.

Hmm......
This is serious.
APC must be responsible for this mess!

Now A.P.C desperation is so glaring. The pooh just hit the ceiling. Looking for excuse because he will definitely lose the case.

The lawyer should have known whom he is up against, Jonathan the master of all criminals. When he has people like Kashamu, Tompolo, Dokubo, Fayose, Omisore, Bode George and others around him, the lawyer should have expected anything to happen.

Abeg, person go run commot for this APC from this country?

Thats the DSS doing what it knows best. I'm sure they didn't see the sign of a chamber infront of the office too after getting info about a BH meeting taking place inside the office N needed to verify that info clandestinely.

Won't you just clap for the DSS with Ita Ekpenyong and his Sister Maryln Ogar running the show. A break-in into opposition party data centre and into.the office of a lawyer handling a case against Jonathan Is one of their best achievements in 2014


Waiting for their breakin into sambisa forest to capture shekau or get vital documents against him there too

So funny a news to begin the day. God bless Nigeria.

Nematodes and Worms doing what they do best; steal, kill and destroy!!

Whoever believe this lawyer will believe that devil is saint and he is without sin

The prosecution Lawyer is just wasting his time. The suit will be dismissed.

Dis you guys, really, read the story?

Na wa o. Hope the Lawyer kept a copy somewhere because I don't expect the police to do any investigation.

What documents? Abegi make we hear word. Unknown charge and bails trying to mk names.
When they know a case is going nowhere they always hide under some roosters stories.
Very soon they'll say that the cited provisions have been deleted from the constitution. Lol

So desperation.
Do you believe that trash? In this computer age, a lawyer can't save a document.
Mtcheeeew.

RockMaxi:
Comedy season 1.

At this tech era, the lawyer can not even scan and save such documents into cloud for retrieval in situations like this.

I beg go collect your balance when the dust settles. Arrangee Lawyer making arrangee noise...

My thoughts exactly.
