An FCT High Court sitting in Nyanya on Thursday ordered Abdujalil Balewa to produce the originals of documents he seeks to tender in court to prove that he is the son of late Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa.

Mr Balewa was brought to the court by his siblings claiming that he was not the son of the late Prime Minister.

The claimants’ counsel, Henry Okoro, had objected claiming that it was a photocopy and not admissible. The plaintiffs, therefore, sought the order of the court for a declaration that the defendant was never a son or grandson of the late Prime Minister.
