The police on Tuesday arraigned Senator Ademola Adeleke, before a Magistrate Court in Mpape, Abuja on charges of forgery. He was later granted bail in the sum of N 2 million.
The Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate in the last governorship candidate in Osun State, was accused in the fresh five counts of forging a letter of attestation and result from Muslim Grammar School, Ede Osun State.
The police alleged that the senator submitted the said forged documents to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as PDP’s candidate in the said governorship election.
He pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to him before the magistrate, Muhammed Suberu, who granted him bail in the sum of N2m with one surety.
The magistrate ruled that the surety must reside within the jurisdiction of the court.
