The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Monday, awarded N5m damages against the National Youth Service Corps for alleging that the discharge certificate held by the Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, was fake.

In a judgment, Justice Inyang Ekwo, has said that the Director General of the NYSC and the corps, who were defendants in the suit, were guilty of misrepresentation of material facts.

The judge sez that the certificate presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission by Mbah was authentic and validly issued by the NYSC.

He added that though the governor was mobilised for service in 2001, completed his service in 2003.
