A Civil Society Organization StayAlert Human Right Awareness Initiative has asked the Chief Judge of Enugu state not to swear in the Governor- elect of Enugu state Barrister Peter Mba for allegedly forging his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate.
The director-general of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig.-Gen. Yusha’u Dogara Ahmed, was quoted to have said the discharge certificate being paraded by Mr Mbah was not issued by the body.
Addressing a press conference weekend, Convener/Executive Director of the group, Ambassador Hilary Onah, said they carried out an independent investigation and found out that the NYSC certificate with Mba was forged.
He called on the police to arrest Mba for prosecution, adding that the group will not relent until justice is served.
He said: We call on the Inspector General of Police and all the relevant authorities to swing into action and ensure that Mba is not sworn in.
“We wonder why the Nigeria Police Force have not arrested him for prosecution to serve as a deterrent for others after the world celebrated press interaction by the Director – General of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Brigadier General Yushau’u Dogara Ahmed affirming that the NYSC certificate Peter Mba is parading is a fake one.
“We commend the boldness and hard work of the NYSC DG for speaking up and not allowing himself to be bribed to cover up this forgery.
“Nigeria Judiciary should desist from using its instrumentalities to encourage, corruption, forgery, crime and evil in the country having in mind the frivolous Judgments they make. The Nigeria Judicial council should ensure that Judges are guided by principles of fair hearing and Justice.
“Finally as one of the foremost human right NGOs in Nigeria that promote human right values and seek redress for victims of human right Abuses in Nigeria, we will not relent in ensuring that Peter Mba is brought to justice.”
