Certificate forgery: Adeleke faces fresh charges

The police have filed fresh charges against senator Ademola Adeleke, as he was arraigned before a magistrate court in Mpape, Abuja.

Adeleke was arraigned on a fresh five-count charge.

He was accused of forging a letter of attestation and result from Muslim grammar school, Ede, Osun state which he allegedly submitted to INEC before he contested the last governorship election as the candidate of PDP.

Adeleke pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to him, following which magistrate Muhammed Suberu granted him bail at the sum of 2 million Naira and a surety in like sum.

The magistrate also granted Adeleke permission to travel abroad to attend to his health as earlier granted by federal high court in Abuja and a high court of Osun state in Ikirun.

However, the matter has been adjourned to 24th of June, 2019.
