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.Police re-arraign Davido's uncle, Ademola Adeleke for exam malpractice
