Supreme Court dismisses Atiku’s fresh evidence, says it’s friendly joke

The Supreme Court has dismissed the application by Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to admit fresh evidence in his appeal against President Bola Tinubu for lack of jurisdiction.

The apex court described Atiku’s petition as a friendly joke, insisting that it could not be granted.

According to the apex court, the case was filed out of time and couldn’t prove cause of forgery.
