Fun-ororo Narebor
Asaba______ The Federal High Court sitting in Asaba, today Monday 27th June, 2022 adjourned till 4th day of July, 2022 to hear the alleged certificate forgery suit filed against Hon. Asupa Forteta, the member representing Burutu North Constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly.
This suit was filed by Hon. Dan Yingi shortly after Hon Asupa Forteta emerged as the Burutu North Peoples Democratic Party Flagbearer for the Delta State House of Assembly Election 2023. The plaintiff is praying the Honourable Court to quash the defendant's nomination by the Peoples Democratic Party for the House of Assembly Election 2023 for supplying fake certificates and in the stead nominate him.
Although the suit was slated for hearing today, the trial judge, however, adjourned it to the 4th day of July, 2022 for an accelerated hearing following an appeal by counsel to defendant that he was briefed lately and yet to prepare their defence. In view of the circumstance, he asked for a short adjournment which was not opposed by plaintiff's counsel and the matter was adjourned to the 4th day of July, 2022.
