Full List: Tinubu's classmates who have testified before US Court

President Bola Tinubu has been accused of identity theft over his academic record at the Chicago State University (CSU) by Atiku Abubakar, the flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the February 25 presidential election.

Atiku is now in court in the United States to ensure that the Chicago State University (CSU) revealed the academic record of Tinubu, which included his admission letter and attendance.

The president has pleaded before the US court under the country's privacy law that exposing the document's details “would cause irreparable damage to his person” and therefore urged the court to stop the university from releasing his academic record to Atiku.

To strengthen his defence, at least two persons had come out to testify before the court that they were classmates of President Tinubu during his undergraduate days before the US court.

Below are their details:

Olajide Adeniji

Adeniji has said he was a classmate of President Tinubu at the Chicago State University and sworn an oath before the court that he was familiar with Tinubu.

He made the claim amid the ongoing legal battle between Tinubu and Atiku, Nigeria's former vice president in the U.S.

In the United States district court, Adeniji testified that he knew and contested against Tinubu as Accounting Society Club President at the CSU's Department of Business Admin/Accounting.

Durojaiye Ogunsanya

Ogunsanya is a public affairs analyst who swore before the court that he was a classmate of President Tinubu during his undergraduate days at the Chicago State University.

On Saturday, September 23, Ogunsanya took the oath before the Northern District of Illinois Court in Chicago, stating that he was familiar with Tinubu, now Nigeria's president.

In the oath, he said: “I am familiar with Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is now the President of Nigeria. I was a student at Chicago State University from 1977 to 1979, and Bola Tinubu and I were in the same course of study."
