One Okey Ezeala had filed a suit against the rep member, alleging name forgery on his academic certifications, he had claimed there was a name discrepancy in the certificates of the legislator.
Agreeing to all the arguments of Rep. Benjamin Kalu’s lead Counsel, K.C Nwufor SAN, Justice Chijioke said the matter is a pre-election matter and therefore, statute-barred and frivolous.”The claimant failed to differentiate or prove his claims of forgery and impersonation against Rep. Benjamin Kalu,” he said.
In the 1-hour 30-minute long judgment, the court also stated that the suit against the legislator appeared to be a case of “the hand of Esau and the voice of Jacob”. Thus, confirming the statements made by the Senior Legislative Aide to Rep. Benjamin Kalu some days ago alleging that Chima Anyaso masterminded and funded the frivolous suit against Rep. Kalu to distract him.
