WATCH THE VIDEO HERE The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has scheduled May 7, 2025, to hear a certificate forgery case against Mrs. Odom Anurika Anita, a Director at the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA). In a ruling delivered by Justice Binta Nyako, the court also granted the University of Port Harcourt permission to file relevant legal processes in the case. During proceedings, counsel for the University, Mr. Jude Ezenwata, informed the court of a motion seeking to regularize and validate a counter-affidavit filed out of time in opposition to the suit. The plaintiff, Mr. Njoku Ifeanyichukwu, initiated the legal action over alleged discrepancies in the certificates presented by the FCDA Director. He urged the court to compel the University of Port Harcourt to provide the admission records, departmental results, and graduation certificate of the defendant. Additionally, he requested that the FCDA produce the defendant’s academic records, graduation certificate, and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate, which were used for her employment. The FCDA, the University of Port Harcourt, and Mrs. Odom were listed as the 1st to 3rd defendants in the suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CD/929/2024. The plaintiff argued that the defendants were legally bound by the provisions of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act to disclose the requested documents to the court. Meanwhile, Justice Nyako directed all parties to file and exchange necessary legal processes before the next hearing date.
