An Abuja Area Court has ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to investigate the newly sworn-in PDP deputy governor of Bayelsa State Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo for forgery of the National Youth Service Corp {NYSC} certificate. 
It should be recalled that the governor-elect of Bayelsa State David Lyon lost his mandate to the PDP candidate Douye Diri because his deputy Governor-elect Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo was accused of presenting forged documents to the INEC.
The investigation order came after an APC Chieftain, Benjamin Youdiowei approached the court alleging Ewhrudjakpo presented forged NYSC certificate to INEC.
The NYSC Exemption Certificate Youdiowei claimed is forged, is dated February 2, 1998, with number 139708.
Justice Abubakar Sadiq who directed the DSS to investigate Ewhrudjakpo had issued a bench warrant for the arrest of the new deputy governor on November 27, 2019 for being absent during a court proceeding. He had also ordered the police to investigate the Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo.
