The Supreme Court has sacked the governor-elect of Bayelsa State, David Lyon and his Deputy, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremieoyo.

A five-member panel of justices of the apex court led by Justice Mary Odili, in a unanimous judgment on Thursday, held that Degi-Eremieoyo presented a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
