“Dancing Senator” Adeleke in court for examination malpractice

Serving senator Ademola Adeleke has been arraigned at the Abuja Federal High Court for alleged examination malpractice.

Adeleke, who was the Osun governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was accused of impersonation by the police a few days to the polls and declared wanted but was not arrested when President Buhari intervened.

The senator was however arraigned on Wednesday on a four-count charge alongside four other people.

The others are Aregbesola Mufutau, principal of the school, Gbadamosi Thomas Ojo, the registrar, and Dare Olutope, a teacher.

Honorable Justice IE Ekwo, the judge handling the case, granted the senator bail on self-recognition after he pleaded  “not guilty” to the charge

Adeleke was later asked to submit his international passport to the court registrar and sign an agreement that he will present himself for trial.

Adeleke is currently challenging Gboyega Oyetola, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who won the Osun election after a rerun was conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
