The Election Petitions Tribunal in Yola, Adamawa State, has sacked two lawmakers of the All Processives Congress (APC).
The tribunal sacked Shuaibu Langa of the APC for certificate forgery.
Mr Langa had his election as member representing Mubi North in the Adamawa State Assembly nullified on Monday because he forged a first school leaving certificate, according to the panel.
The tribunal led by S. Akanbi, subsequently ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue a certificate of return to Suleiman Vokna of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The tribunal also nullified the election of Musa Bororo, APC member representing Mubi South constituency for bearing three inconsistent names.
The tribunal accused him of using three names, Musa Umar Bororo instead of “Musa Umar” which is the official name in the documents submitted to the INEC.
Mr Bororo was taken to the tribunal by Musa Dirbishi of the PDP.
The court has ordered INEC to issue certificate of return to Mr Dirbishi
