Osun State Election Petition Tribunal hearing the suit filed by Governor Adegboyega Oyetola against the declaration of Ademola Adeleke as Governor-elect has started receiving documentary evidence against the result declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
At the sitting of the tribunal , the chairman, Justice Tertsea Kume, adjourned the case for the respondents to cross-check the list of documents to be tendered, with a view to making the tendering seamless for the petitioners.
Earlier at the hearing, counsel to Oyetola and APC, Chief Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) had informed the court of his intention to tender some documentary evidence to prove the alleged non-compliance with the Electoral Act by INEC.
Counsel to the PDP, Alex Izinyon (SAN) objected to the tendering of the documents on the ground that it ran afoul of Paragraph 3 of the pre-hearing report which indicated that list of witnesses should be filed 24 hours to the hearing.
