Police Re-arraign Davido’s Uncle, Ademola Adeleke For Exam Malpractice
The Nigerian police today re-arraigned the Osun State governorship
candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Ademola Adeleke, on
allegations of examination malpractice.
Adeleke, who was first arraigned on a four-count charge brought
against him in September, for alleged conspiracy and impersonation among
other offences, was re-arraigned on Tuesday, with the charges increased
from four to seven-counts, still bordering on similar offences.
Adeleke has been accused of conspiring to procure illegal examination
results with workers at the Ojo-Aro community grammar school and
arraigned him along with a principal and three others accused of
conspiring to commit the alleged crime. The police force also accused Mr
Adeleke of making false documents, regarding his age and violating the
exam malpractice act, CAP E15, 2004.
Adeleke, who contested closely with his counterpart from the All
Progressives Congress, (APC) Adegboyega Oyetola, is challenging the
outcome of the election which saw Oyetola emerge winner, after a
declaration by Nigeria’s electoral umpire that the election was
inconclusive on September, 22. Adeleke is accusing the Independent
National Electoral Commission and the APC of colluding to ensure the
candidate of the APC emerges winner in the September elections in the
state.
