The PUNCH reports that Atiku had earlier secured an order from a US magistrate for CSU to make Tinubu’s academic records available to his legal team.

His second reason is that Atiku’s request “is unduly intrusive because it allows the applicant to conduct a fishing expedition into the intervenor’s private, confidential, and protected educational records.”

Atiku’s counsel, Angela Liu, appealed that “If the court overrules the objections, the applicant respectfully requests that it enter an order requiring production of documents no later than October 2, 2023, and the deposition scheduled no later than October 3, to allow time for transcripts to be finalised, and the discovery obtained to be sent to Nigeria by October 4, so that such evidence may, in turn, be filed with the Supreme Court by October 5, which is when applicant’s Nigerian counsel...

The former Vice President declared that his goal is to test the authenticity and origin of 12 pages of documents, including two very different diplomas, that purport to have been issued by CSU. “If, as the intervenor asserts, he graduated from CSU in 1979 and the CSU documents are authentic copies issued, there is no reason why he should oppose the limited discovery the applicant seeks.”
