Few hours after news of confirmation of his certificate by WAEC emerged, the Nigeria police force has filed charges of examination malpractices, impersonation and criminal conspiracy against the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the coming Saturday’s election in Osun state, Senator Ademola Adeleke.


The police filed the charges at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The police also said that the School Principal of Ojo-Aro Community High School, Egbedore Local Government Area, Osun State, and three others would equally be charged for abetting the crime.
