The move was in response to a suit lodged by Atiku Abubakar, who is challenging Tinubu’s victory in Nigeria’s recent presidential election.
The electoral commission, INEC, had declared President Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the presidential election, which was held on 25 February.
Atiku of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who came second in the race, disputed the election outcome, alleging fraudulent academic, criminal, and electoral records.
Tinubu’s lead lawyer submitted documentary evidence, including a letter from the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria clearing President Tinubu of any criminal conviction or arrest in the U.S, and immigration documents certifying Mr Tinubu’s trips to the U.S. between 2011 and 2021.
After admitting the documents in evidence, the court adjourned further hearing until Wednesday.
