Nigeria’s Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu, is fighting back against a coalition of civil society groups questioning his NYSC and Law School credentials.
Kalu maintains that his record is clean and that all his documents have passed through multiple layers of official verification throughout his career.
A group of activists claimed there were "irregularities" in Kalu's service records and threatened a 72-hour ultimatum for him to address the issue.
Kalu’s office pointed out that he is an enrolled legal practitioner of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, a status that would be impossible to achieve with forged documents.
The Deputy Speaker believes these attacks are "politically motivated" and are not based on any actual evidence or court rulings.
The statement emphasized that after 15 years of public and legal service, his professional status remains fully intact and recognized by the government.
