Alleged

Evan Enwerem

NRC Governor of Imo State (3 January 1992 – 17 November 1993; tenure cut short by the November 1993 coup); later PDP Senator for Imo East from 1999, and first Senate President of Nigeria's Fourth Republic (June 1999). Removed as Senate President on 18 November 1999 by a Senate inquiry that found falsified credentials and produced the famous "Evan vs Evans" name dispute; the inquiry was a legislative-political process, not a criminal prosecution. Died August 2007. Recommend `alleged` status — the 1999 Senate inquiry is the strongest anchor — but no usable single-source case file currently meets the credible-source bar; harden by importing a Premium Times / Punch retrospective.
