BREAKING: Petitioners’ Witness Admits Errors in Statements Before Tribunal

The Edo State Governorship Election Tribunal continued sitting today with the petitioners calling their fourth witness (PW4) in case EPT/ED/GOV/02/2024, Ighodalo Asuerinme & Anor vs INEC and 2 others. The witness, Destiny Enabulele, 48, told the court that his statement was in error.

Enabulele, PW4, whose election as a Member of the Edo State House of Assembly (Ovia South-West constituency) was quashed by an election tribunal in 2023 over allegations of irregularities, malpractices, and non-compliance with the Electoral Act, claimed to be a development worker.

Despite admitting to errors in his statement, the tribunal provisionally accepted it as evidence, while the respondents objected respectfully and reserved their reasons for their final written address.

More Details shortly….
