The Federal High Court sitting in Uyo has admitted the certified true copies of the 1981 and 1983 West African Examinations Council certificates of the Peoples Democratic Party candidate in Akwa Ibom State, Umo Eno.

This came as the defendant opened his defence Thursday in a case of the West Arica Examination Council certificates forgery levelled against him by a PDP governorship aspirant, Akan Okon.

Okon had dragged Eno before the court over an alleged certificate forgery and discrepancies in his age declaration, praying the court to disqualify Eno, as he was cleared in error by the party’s screening committee which sat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The Senior Assistant Registrar 1 of WAEC, Uyo, Noble Ihejirika, who is one of the three defence witnesses, tendered the certified true copies of the certificates.
