President Muhammadu Buhari has asked police authorities not invite Ademola Adeleke, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) candidate in this Saturday’s Osun state governorship election to answer questions on his alleged involvement in examination malpractice until after the election scheduled for this weekend.
Earlier on Wednesday, Jimoh Moshood, force public relations officer, said charges of examination malpractice, criminal conspiracy, impersonation, and breach of duty had been filed against Adeleke and others at a federal high court in Abuja.
According to Moshood, Adeleke connived with four persons, Sikiru Adeleke, Aregbesola Mufutau (principal of Ojo-Aro Community Grammar School, Egbedore LGA, Osun), Gbadamosi Thomas Ojo (school official responsible for the registration of candidates for NECO), and Dare Olutope (school teacher who facilitated the crime).
They were all asked to report to the special investigation panel at the force headquarters in Abuja.
A presidential source has, however, informed newsmen that President Buhari had ordered the IGP not to go ahead with the invitation until the governorship election is over.
Senator Adeleke who the West African Examination Council (WAEC) confirmed sat for its examination in 1981 in one the cases pending in court, is one of the four candidates contesting the Osun state governorship polls scheduled for Saturday.
