The US District Court rules that Atiku Abubakar has the jurisdiction to request for Tinubu’s credentials from the Chicago State University.
According to court documents, the court established that it has jurisdiction over the matter under US law, which authorises any “interested person” to request that a US District Court order the discovery of documents and testimony for use in a foreign proceeding from persons who “reside or are found” within its District.”
Atiku is asking the court to compel Chicago State University (CSU) to produce the academic records of President Bola Tinubu, Political Economist reports.
The court, therefore, held that Atiku satisfied all statutory requirements as he is an “interested person”; and the respondent, CSU, is a public university established and existing under the laws of Illinois, with its principal campus and offices in Chicago.
It said it would not hesitate to grant the prayers of Atiku.
