Tinubu certificate case: Plaintiff rejects transfer from Kano to Abuja

By GhanaSummary NewsroomNigeria

By Omeiza Ajayi ABUJA — Civil rights group, Centre for Reform and Public Advocacy (CFRPA), has rejected the transfer of its suit challenging President Bola Tinubu’s academic credentials from the Kano Division to the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court.

It argued that the transfer, which it said was granted “at the behest of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the President’s lawyers,” could erode public confidence in the independence of the Federal High Court.

The group said the manner in which the transfer was granted had raised “a reasonable apprehension of bias” on the part of the Office of the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court.
