The police in Abuja have charged Senator Ademola Adeleke with
certificate forgery.He was charged this morning at an Abuja magistrates’
court.
Adeleke is also the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, in the election held last September.
An election tribunal validated his election in a split ruling in
March. An Appeal court will shortly pronounce its verdict on who was the
real winner between him and Governor Gboyega Oyetola, who contested on
the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
The allegation of certificate forgery had dogged the senator in the
run-up to the election in the state, leading to his arrest before the
poll.
President Muhammadu Buhari waded into the case and ordered the police to release him.
Recently, Justice Othman Musa of the FCT High Court declared the
Secondary School Certificate presented by Adeleke to INEC as fake.
A suit is pending in the high court seeking the declaration of his senatorial seat vacant.
Adeleke has appealed the judgment.
