Osun election: Police arrest PDP’s Senator Ademola Adeleke over WAEC saga

Senator Ademola Adeleke, who is the governorship candidate under the flagship of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the September 22, 2018 election in Osun State, and also an uncle to popular music star, Davido has been arrested and arraigned before Justice I. E. Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja.



Adeleke was docked today based on a four-count charge of examination malpractices filed against him by the Nigerian Police force.

The Inspector General of Police, IGP, Ibrahim Idris, through the Prosecuting Counsel, Mr, Simon Lough, had on September 19, 2018 filed the charge against Adeleke and four others.

Charged by the police alongside Adeleke were Sikiru Adeleke, the Principal of Ojo-Aro Community Grammar School; Alhaji Aregbesola Muftau, the Registrar of the School; Gbadamosi Ojo and a teacher in the school, Dare Samuel Olutope.

The police accused the five defendants of committing examination malpractices by fraudulently, through impersonation, registering Adeleke and another Sikiru Adeleke, as students of Ojo-Aro Community Grammar School, in Ojo-Aro in Osun State, for the National Examination Council’s June/July 2017 Senior School Certificate Examination in February 2017.
