The National and State House of Assembly elections petition tribunal sitting in Kano has nullified the election of Tarauni Federal Constituency member, Muktar Yerma, of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) over certificate forgery.
The petitioner, Hafizu Kawu of the APC challenged the electoral victory of Muktar Yerima which the tribunal nullified on Thursday.
The three-member tribunal ruled that the primary school certificate tendered by the respondent, Muktar Yerima was forged, upheld Kawu’s petition and nullified the sitting NNPP member’s election.
