BREAKING: Supreme Court Reserves Judgement in Atiku, Tinubu Case, Says CSU Documents Conflicting

Abdule SULE (Abuja) 

The supreme court has reserved judgment in the appeal filed by Atiku Abubakar challenging the election of President Bola Tinubu.

A seven-member panel of the apex court led by Justice Inyang Okoro reserved judgment after parties in the appeal adopted their respective briefs of arguments on Monday.

Mr Abubakar is challenging the judgment of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal,  which affirmed the election of President Bola Tinubu.

Atiku's s lawyer had pleaded that the Chicago University certificate be accepted as part of the lie documents.

But Tinubu's lawyer argued that you cannot accept evidence smuggled into Apex Court that was not first presented at lower court.

Speaking at the hearing on Monday, Justice Okoro said criminal matters have to be proved beyond reasonable doubt.

“But in this case, there are two conflicting letters from the CSU – one authenticating the president’s certificate and another discrediting it. Which do we rely on?,” he asked.
