THE Federal Ministry of Justice has recommended the trial
of three top members of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, in Enugu State over alleged forgery. The
recommendation by the Director of Public Prosecution,
DPP, followed a petition to the police headquarters, by
Hon. Dennis Oguerinwa Amadi, representing Udi/Ezeagu
Federal constituency at the House of Representatives,
dated July 6, 2015.
Amadi alleged that the PDP members forged documents
which a former member of the National Assembly
benefited even as reports indicated yesterday that the
police in Abuja have invited the alleged beneficiary for
questioning.
In its report submitted to the Commissioner of Police,
Force Intelligence Bureau, by the Investigating Police
Officer, ASP Emmanuel Mordi, the Police stated that,
“considering the overwhelming evidence that flows from
the finding of facts in this case, it is conclusive that the
suspects may have committed the offence of conspiracy to
wit: forgery, impersonation, altering and perjury.”
The DPP, Muhammad Saidu Diri, who signed the
document on behalf of the Solicitor General of the
Federation, noted that the DPP established a possible case
of forgery and should be prosecuted. “We have carefully
perused the case file, it was discovered that the evidence
available disclosed an offence of forgery which is a state
offence.
“I am therefore directed to request you to forward the
case file to the office of the Honourable Attorney-General
and Commissioner of Justice, Enugu State for prosecution.
