Former House of Representatives Member representing Ajeromi Ifelodun Federal constituency, Hon. Rita Odichinma Orji, was arrested on November 24, 2024, for allegedly using a fake West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) certificate during her tenure between 2015 and 2019.
The police took her into custody, and she later made a statement regarding the allegations.
The development has raised questions about the authenticity of her credentials and the potential consequences of her actions.
She made a statement after her arrest but the case has allegedly been swept under the carpet and her petitioner Mr Uche David Esomonu is crying out that after the arrest statement which was taken on the evening of the arrest, nothing else has been done.
He is pointing fingers at the Nigerian Police and wondering why her case has been swept under the carpet even with overwhelming evidence
He urges the Nigerian Police to restore whatever dignity they have by bringing out the case file and says he will not rest until justice is served.
