  "account": "A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered Interior Minister Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo to submit a response to a legal suit demanding the release of his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) records. Justice Salim Ibrahim granted the injunction on Monday, setting a new hearing on November 18, 2026. The Incorporated Trustees of Pathway to Equity and Charity Foundation, represented by Chief Solomon Akuma (SAN), are seeking disclosure of official NYSC documents supporting Tunji-Ojo's claim that he completed the mandatory one-year national service. The plaintiffs also request a court order mandating the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) to present records proving Tunji-Ojo served his primary assignment there. The foundation's key evidence points to a discrepancy between Tunji-Ojo's claimed service in the FCTA from 2006 to 2019 and the NYSC's assertion that he absconded and later resurfaced in 2019, thus requiring the production of documentation to substantiate his claims.",
