An appellant, Dr. Oluwole Adeoye Daini said he has notified President Bola Tinubu of the lawful retraction made by the National Judicial Council (NJC) regarding acts of conspiracy, fraud and concealment of forgery.

Daini said following the correspondence by the NJC dated December 19, 2023 with the reference No. NJC/F.3/FHC.17/VI/293, the body had agreed to retract itself and irreversibly refrain from committing conspiracy, and concealment of forgery against him.

He also stated that the NJC consented to be extricated from any form of complicity in the acts of conspiracy, concealment of forgery and obstruction of administration of justice.

This, he said, followed the rejoinders dated January 3 and 10, 2024 and the affidavit of facts he deposed to in the Registry of the Supreme Court, and given to the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), who is the chairman of the NJC.

According to him, it included the documentary and incontrovertible evidence of the NJC letter dated November 19, 2020 with the Ref. No. NJC/F.3/FHC.8/IV/990 submitted to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, in which he was personally copied as well as the President of Nigeria.

His words: “In the January 3, 2024 rejoinder, which was part of affidavit of facts deposed to in the Registry of the Supreme Court of Nigeria on January 10, 2024, Daini informed the CJN/chairman NJC that the letter by the NJC dated December 19, 2023 with the reference No. NJC/F.3/FHC.17/VI/293 was aimed at unlawfully and unconstitutionally continuing the already exposed concealment of the fraudulent acts of conspiracy and forgery of the December 04, 2009 dated judgment in the suit marked FHC/ABJ/M/692/07.”

According to him, the letter was sent to him, although the Federal High Court had much earlier issued to him the CTC of the record of proceedings of the court in which an adjournment was made till December 21, 2009.

He explained that the record of proceedings was in the same suit marked FHC/ABJ/M/692/07 and in the same court that had purportedly given a ‘judgment’ in the suit on December 04, 2009 with the signature of the trial judge.

He said that the forgery had been admitted and confessed in writing by the University and its College of Medicine through their counsel on the August 13, 2015 and August 15, 2015, and had also been owned in writing by the University in the letter signed by its Registrar and dated August 17, 2015 with reference No R/11/P.8 to the IGP before the unanimously signed, stamped and returned Withdrawal By Consent Process in the Appeal marked CA/A/702/2013 before the Court of Appeal, Abuja.

Daini further informed the CJN that it was within the judicial notice of the NJC that the unanimously signed, stamped and returned Withdrawal By Consent Process had been used to decriminalise the Federal Government, the Attorney General of the Federation, the Federal Ministry of Education and the National Universities Commission in the appeal marked CA/A/702/2013.

The Withdrawal By Consent Process, he added also extricated the Court of Appeal, the Federal High Court, and their alter egos from any form of complicity in the alleged conspiracy and forgery done in respect of the judgment in the suit marked FHC/ABJ/M/692/07.
