Police Arraign Osun PDP Guber Candidate, Adeleke For Exam Malpractice
The Nigerian police has invited Senator Ademola Adeleke, Osun state gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) over an alleged examination malpractice and criminal conspiracy.
In a statement Wednesday, Jimoh Moshood, police spokesman, said Adeleke and Sikiru, his brother, sat for the National Examination Council Examination (NECO) as internal candidates in 2017, “impersonating” students of OJO/Aro Community Grammar School in Osun state.
The police said the alleged crime was facilitated by the principal of the school, and two other members of staff who are under investigation and being charged to court.
The force asked the senator and the four others allegedly involved to report to the force headquarters in Abuja for
“immediate” arraignment in court.
Moshood said charges of examination malpractice, criminal conspiracy, impersonation and breach of duty
have been filed against the five at the federal high court in Abuja.
Meanwhile, the West African Exam Commission had just today vindicated the PDP flagbearer by confirming that he sat for its exam in 1981 contrary to the allegation filed against him in the court.
