Drama as PDP witnesses takes the oath with a cutlass at Ogun Tribunal.

Published

A mild drama played out on Friday at the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital, as two of the three witnesses of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chose to take their oath with a cutlass.

The witnesses were Adeeso Abiodun and Akinyemi Oluwanifemi, while the third witness was the son of the PDP senatorial women leader in the state.

However, all the witnesses surprised many at the tribunal when they made the same statements, word for word, while taking their oaths.

Findings show that all the witnesses came from Sagamu in the  Ogun East Senatorial District of the State.

At first, arguments ensued as some people expressed reservations about the development, even as counsels to respondents insisted those witnesses must say the oath correctly by invoking the spirit behind the object, Ogun, the Yoruba god of iron.

After much argument, the tribunal eventually allowed the witnesses to take their oath using their choice of object for oath-taking.
