0Shares

The Deputy Speaker, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, who serves as the representative of Bende Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, is currently embroiled in a serious and precarious situation. Allegations of forgery and discrepancies in his credentials have surfaced, posing a significant threat to his political career.

Appearing before the panel led by Justice Kabiru Amad for cross-examination, Kalu vehemently denied forging his credentials, although he acknowledged that certain discrepancies were present in his birth certificate, undergraduate degree certificate, NYSC certificate, and other documents.

The lawmaker clarified that he had legally changed his name and harmonized it to Benjamin Okezie Kalu, thus adopting his current identity.

However, during the cross-examination, the counsel representing the first petitioner, Yunus Ustaz Usman, SAN, raised a question regarding the authorization of the name change.

Usman ask whether the institutions that issued his certificates were responsible for the name change or if it was done by Kalu himself. In response, Kalu stated that he made the changes and not the institutions.

During the examination of Kalu’s witness, Mr. Cyril Kwubiri, pretended to have a visual impairment and claimed an inability to see the contents of a document presented to him, thus rendering him unable to testify in the certificate suit.

The panel adjourned the proceedings until August 14th for the final address.
