A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday, affirmed the authenticity of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate of Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State.
Justice Nyang Ekwo in her judgement held that the evidence before the court showed that Mbah though was mobilized for service in 2001, completed it in 2003.
She also pointed out that while the evidence that Mbah served in the law firm of one Udeh was not challenged by the NYSC, he berated the corps for not charging the governor for forgery if they actually believed that they didn’t issue the said NYSC certificate to him.
He concluded that the NYSC was mischievous and acted in bad faith by denying Mbah’s NYSC certificate.
The court which found the Director General and the NYSC guilty of misrepresentation of material facts, subsequently awarded the sum of N5 million damages against them.
