UK, DSS Petitioned To Probe Buhari’s Cambridge Documents

The London Metropolitan Police Service and the Department of State
Services have been petitioned by a Nigerian lawyer Kalu Kalu Agu, to
probe the Cambridge University certificate which President Muhammadu
Buhari presented at the presidential election petition tribunal.

Abba Kyari, Buhari’s chief of staff had claimed that he personally
signed for and collected the documents on behalf of the President from
Cambridge University in his testimony at the tribunal. The conduct of
final year secondary school examination in Nigeria and placement into
foreign universities in the 1960s was managed by the UK-based
examination body.

However in the two separate petitions dated August 14 which TheCable obtained, Kalu
Kalu Agu asked for a probe into the authenticity of the ‘certifying
statement’ reportedly obtained from the Cambridge Assessment
International Education and an investigation into the circumstances
leading to the procurement.

 “Where did Mr. Abba Kyari get the certificate which he enclosed
alongside his application form for the issuance of the said certifying
statement which he claimed he procured from Cambridge Assessment
International Education.

“Whether Mr Abba Kyari as an individual can apply for the said
certifying statement not being an academic institution or an employer of
the candidate.

“Whether the said certifying statement can be delivered to Mr Abba
Kyari by hand as he claimed he signed and personally collected same by
hand in the UK.

“Evidence of the said application and of the candidate’s
authorisation to the Cambridge Assessment International Education for
the release of the said certifying statement to Mr Abba Kyari” he said.

He added that “in the circumstance that the certifying statement is
found to be forged, it will be of great service to both Nigeria and the
United Kingdom that Mr. Abba Kyari is arrested and arraigned in a court
of competent jurisdiction for forgery.”
