In his judgment, Justice I.P Chima averred that Idris Dankawu of NNPP forged his WAEC certificate and accordingly voided the election.

The Tribunal ordered INEC to set aside the Certificate of Return given to Dankawu and declare Munir Babba Danagudi the winner of the Kumbotso Federal Constituency election held on 25th Feb. March.

Having satisfied with the provision of the law, we hereby declare and return Munir Babba Danagudi as the winner of the Kumbotso Federal House Representatives Election.

All parties to bear own cost.” Justice Chima ruled.

Recall that the Tribunal had at the weekend sacked another NNPP Reps member, Yusuf Datti for failing to resign from Bayero University, Kano 30 days before the election.
