Masari in an affidavit submitted to INEC said he misplaced the original certificates while on transit in Abuja.
The affidavit reads in part, “That I am the above-named person and bonafide owner of the under-listed documents. That sometimes in January 2021, while on transit within Wuse Area, FCT– Abuja, I discovered that my original Certificate of Occupancy of plot NoKT 17522, GRA Katsina Estate; Certificate of Kaduna State Development Centre from 1994-95; Grade 11 Certificate from Katsina Teachers College from 1979-83 and First Leaving School Certificate issued by Masari Primary School Katsina State from 1972-78 got lost”.

He noted that all efforts to recover the missing documents since 2021 have proved abortive.
