…let him clear himself on his role of forgery of the Federal High Court Judgement against Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.
Enugu- A pressure Support Group in All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on the National Working Committee of the Party to disqualify Chief Obinna Uzor from Contesting in the Party Primaries scheduled to hold this month.
Addressing the Journalist in Enugu, The National Coordinator, Ugwuoke O. Ugwuoke said the Party Ticket should not be handed over to people with questionable character. The Group maintained that Chief Obinna Uzor through his activities and That of His Lawyer committed some fraudulent and despicable Conducts and corruption which was perpetrated in such shameful manner and circumstance that made many heads to role in the Federal High Court Abuja.
Chief Ugwuoke said sometimes in 2020, the Federal Government filed a six-count charge against Dr Obinna Uzoh, Anani Anacletus Chuka,Eziafa Enwedo, Aroh Ifunanya and Faith Samuel in Charge No. FHC/Abj/CR/78/2020 for allegedly forging court processes and judgment in a cloned Suit No.CV/3044/2018 at the FCT High Court Kubwa to remove Senator (Dr) Patrick Ubah from office as the duly elected senator representing Anambra South Senatorial district.
Investigations by the officers of the Nigerian Police Force under the leadership of the Inspector General of Police Mohammed Adamu NPM, mni unearthed what may be described as an unprecedented fraud and scandal-webbed in massive fraud that rocked the FCT High Court involving several judicial staff, lawyers and litigants. The suspects were alleged to have mutilated the court register and cloned Suit No. Cv/3044/2018 which was allotted in 2018 to S & M Holdings Limited Vs Persons unknown filed on the 17th of October 2018) and affixed Suit No. Cv/3044/2018 to Anani AnacletusChuka vs Ifeanyi Ubah & Others. The suspects also forged the assignment directive of the Chief judge of the FCT High Court to purportedly assign the matter to Honourable justice Kawu. This was in respect of Senatorial election involving Senator Ifeanyi Patrick Ubah and Dr Obinna Uzor who alleged that he contested under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
According to Chief Ugwuoke O. Ugwuoke, a Committee was set up by the High Court Of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to investigate the case of forgery and fraud involving Dr Obinna Uzor. The committee recommended the dismissal of three officers of the court over alleged complicity in the forgery of court documents. It also recommended the demotion of others involved in the fraud.
Dr Obinna Uzor was alleged to have forged the court documents in his bid to unseat Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.
Specifically, he was said to have used fake and forged documents and in connivance with the Court officials tried to unseat Senator Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah as the Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District.
The Committee in its report dated March 16th,2020 established that the court officials connived with Dr Uzor and his lawyers to perpetrate fraud and forgery of documents of the court.
According to the Committee’s report signed by its Chairman Madugu Mohammed Alhaji and Secretary Aminu Nash Audu “the Committee after investigation and careful study of evidence adduced and all the exhibits tendered discovered that the entire suit contracted in CV/3044/18 was a fraud and does not exist in The FCT High Court record.
The purported suit was not assigned by the Hon. Chief Judge and not found on any court register except the mutilated register in the process unit. The Hon. Chief Judge’s signature was forged and dated on the receipt of payment, processes were all altered to October 2018 to make the purported suit filed on September 25th 2019 look like a pre-election matter.
The Committee discovered that out of the six receipts cross checked by the Head of Revenue, four of them were not allocated to the FCT High Court. This means that those receipts were used to perpetrate the fraud.
The Committee further discovered that some of the Staff of the High Court were part of the fraud. Kingsley Okoroh Ebibrah a Registrar who was part of the alteration of the date was found guilty of gross misconduct which is inimical to the service and was recommended for dismissal from the service of the FCT High Court.
Micheal Enuenwosu an Assistant Executive Officer was found guilty of gross misconduct and was recommended for dismissal from service. Maku Felix a Senior Executive Officer was also found guilty of gross misconduct and recommended for dismissal from service while Ibrahim Yau an Assistant Chief on Grade Level 14 was demoted and relieved of his appointment as Commissioner Of oaths. Abiodun Kolawole a Chief Clerical officer was also recommended for demotion in rank, Iraq Umar a Principal Registrar 11 was also recommended for demotion in rank. While Shaibu Alhassan an Appeal Unit Staff was exonerated of all charges against him.
Specifically, Late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah had through his Counsel, Chukwuemeka Nwuigwe petitioned the Chief Judge of the FCT High Court basically on what they perceived as unprecedented fraud in the history of the Nigerian Judiciary. He alleged that the staff altered, mutilated and back dated processes of an unassigned suit to cause damage to him.
The Chairman of the Support Group opined that Dr Obinna Uzor has the temerity and boldness to appear again to contest for the Senatorial position of Anambra South District, is an evidence of his shamelessness and unrepentant conduct and behavior which demands an unreserved apology to the people of Anambra South Senatorial District.
The Group is calling on the National Working Committee to graciously note that Dr Obinna Uzor has perpetually contested elections in each election year, under a different Parties and just recently abandoned his Senatorial quest in Labour Party while still contesting that position in court, to crash into APC to run for the same position.
We want to let the NWC know that the position which Dr Obinna Uzor is contesting is the same position for which he committed the said fraud against Senator Ifeanyi Ubah. Dr Obinna Uzor deserves to be sacked from the Party because of his political buffoonery and harlotry which propels him from one Party to the other without any tangible contribution except causing distractions in election matters, the Statement concluded.
