Alleged certificate forgery: Coast clear as court dismisses suit against Obaseki

By

The re-election bid of Governor Godwin Obaseki has been handed a massive boost after an alleged certificate forgery suit against him was on Monday, June 29, dismissed.

The Edo state governor has been embroiled in different lawsuits surrounding his eligibility in the forthcoming election in the state in September.

Edobor Williams, Ugbesia Abudu Godwin and Amedu Dauda Anakhu in a suit with number FHC/ABJ/CS/553/2020 had accused the governor of forging his Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) certificate in Classical Studies from the University of Ibadan.

Delivering her verdict on the case, Justice Anwuli Chiekere who is the presiding judge dismissed the case due to the absence of both plaintiffs and the defendant.

The judgement came barely 18 days after the registrar of the premier university, Olubunmi Faluyi, in a statement on Wednesday, June 10, said Obaseki gained admission to the university in 1976 and graduated in 1979.

In what finally cleared doubt on the governor’s certificate, Faluyi who cited records, also stated that the governor graduated with a second class honours (lower division).

According to executive producer Alex Kurtzman , who spoke with Entertainment Weekly , the series can’t do this because the rights to author Thomas Harris ’ characters are actually divided between MGM and the Dino De Laurentiis Company.

But, the CBS show will have all the other characters mentioned in the book, like Clarice Starling, her colleague Ardelia Mapp, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Paul Krendler, the late serial killer Buffalo Bill, and a few others. “I’m still trying to understand how the rights are divided,” Alex shared with the magazine about the legality of it all, but he’s okay with that too. Turns out that not having access to Hannibal hasn’t been limiting. “It’s bee...

Sóller hike followed by a healthy vegan lunch

By
We got a group of friends together (of various ages and fitness levels) to hike around the hills surrounding the Mallorcan town of Sóller, in the northwest of the island. There are many quite easy trails but usually, it involves a bit of hiking up and downhill. We began our walk at the first roundabout after the tunnel and climbed for about 25 minutes uphill after that it was reasonably flat for the next hour or so. The final part was decent into the town of Sóller where we had booked a private vegan brunch for our group. Barbara and Martjin opened Ecocirer in March 2018 as a vegan hotel with 6 bedrooms in the town of Sóller. It is the ideal accommodation for a family celebration if you would like to enjoy healthy vegan food with plenty of activities to get you out into the beautiful nature surrounding the picturesque town. The expe...
