An Abuja High Court, Nyanya on Wednesday convicted a job seeker, Raymond Azuka for forging  the signature of former finance minister, Dr Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala.

On May 19, 2015 the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) filed six counts charge bordering on  forgery on Azuka, a Higher National Diploma holder from Federal Polytechnic Oko, Anambra for allegedly forging a reference letter purportedly from the Okonjo-Iweala alongside his curriculum vitae requesting for employment into the commission and Nigerian Security Printing and Minting, NSPM.

In convicting Azuka, Justice Baba Idris, fixed Dec. 7,  for sentencing.

Baba held that out of the six counts, the court convicted Azuka on two counts.

He held that the confessional statements by the defendant, contained the evidence where the defendant admitted forging the reference letter purported to have been signed by Okonjo- Iweala.

Baba held that the admittance was the best evidence and in this instance, the defendant admitted forging the reference letters and EFCC provided graphic evidence  too.
