Two witnesses in the ongoing trial of Sen. Ademola Adeleke on a seven-count amended charge bordering on examination malpractice on Wednesday told the Federal High Court Abuja that they did not see the senator in the examination hall.

The witnesses, Mr Emmanuel Adesola and Enoch Adigun, both teachers, while being led in evidence by the prosecutor Mr Simon Lough, told the court that they invigilated examinations at Ojo -Aro Community Grammar School in Osun State in 2017.

Adesola told the court that when he got to school, he asked for the school album but was told it was not ready.

According to him, “I could not identify any student without the school album since it was my first time there so the principal and the register helped me to identify them as I used the list I had to call the students into the hall.

“I didn’t see any of the defendants in the examination hall; Sen. Adeleke was not in the examination hall, he is a public figure so I would have recognised him,” the witness told the court.

The witness who further told the court that he had been supervising National Examination Council (NECO) examination for the past five years also told the court that there were four elderly students in the hall.

While being cross examined by Mr Alex Iziyon, (SAN), the witness said that he did not make a formal report on the absence of a school album to his superiors even though he ought to have done so.

He also told the court that on the day he invigilated, he did not witness any form of examination malpractice in the hall.

On his part, Adigun told the court that he saw the second defendant, Sikiru Adeleke in the examination hall while he was invigilating.

According to Adigun, I was surprised to see him because he was the most matured student in the hall but when I checked and saw that he had an identity card duly stamped by the school, I had to allow him write the examination.

Adigun said that he didn’t see Adeleke in the examination hall or any of the other defendants besides Sikiru.

The trial judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo adjourned the matter until June 10 and 11 for continuation of hearing.

Adeleke was first arraigned by the Federal Government in Sept. 2018 on a four-count charge bordering on examination malpractice, along with his brother, Sikiru Adeleke and three others.

The senator pleaded not guilty to the charges and was granted bail on self-recognizance by the court.

The others were Alhaji Aregbesola Mufutau (Principal, Ojo-Aro Community Grammar School, Ojo-Aro Osun), Gbadamosi Ojo (School Registrar) and Dare Olutope (a teacher).

The police accused them of fraudulently registering Adeleke and his brother Sikiru as students of Ojo-Aro Community Grammar School in Ojo-Aro, Osun State, for the National Examination Council’s June/July 2017 Senior School Certificate Examination in Feb. 2017.

They were re-arraigned in Dec. 2018 on a seven-count amended charge bordering on examination malpractice.

Obviously he ghosted

The dancing bear was probably dancing his exam phobia away elsewhere

thenationonlineng and tvc was blowing series of propaganda against this senator Ademola Adeleke last year, at the end, distinguished senator Ademola Adeleke (Imole) was victorious in the tribunal court.another victory is loading again in the appeal court. let's keep our fingers crossed.

AFONJA and BUHARI are the problems of Nigeria..

It's even disgusting to imagine this one as a Governor

bentwood85:
AFONJA and BUHARI are the problems of Nigeria..

And you just mentioned your nightmares..

I wonder what Afonja and Buhari has got to do with this

Your duty is to supervise.
Your testimony is useless as it is just word of mouth.

But Engineerboat and Jonnyessense saw Adeleke in the exam Hall now.

Which kind nonsense witness claim be this

How much was he paid to spew this rubbish

bentwood85:
AFONJA and BUHARI are the problems of Nigeria..

Fake data seller, why not face your business and let Afonja deal with the matter that concerns them

You Say: What of the Lifeless One who Seem? :

How can someone from such a prominent family not finish secondary school? I still can't comprehend this. How terrible can you be? Or is he intellectually impaired? If so, he has no right to contest for any position..

Nawa for this country o.. Wetin person wan believe again..

He was probably dancing disco in Oshogbo.


BTW, why will the minimum requirement for politicians be presenting WAEC while graduates are required to present B.Sc certificates for jobs of N30000 and above?

Something is wrong with the system.

Adeleke should learn from George Opong Weah, the President of Liberia, in 2005, Weah wanted to be president of Liberia, he contested against an unpopular Sirleaf, he "won" but he was rigged out because he was not educated enough to lead a country that was just emerging from a devastated civil war.
Quietly, Weah went back to school, he graduated from a University, got elected into the Liberian Senate, today He's the President of Liberia.
Ajobiewe can still Govern Osun, he should go back to Ede Muslim High School, enrol for either WAEc or NECO, it doesn't matter whether he pass or fail, the requirement is just the attestation that he sat for the exam, shikena!

Lols

Thenationonline is becoming a nuisance.
Same way they were dishing lies after lies against the CJN.

Why Adeleke will win this is because

1. 180 days has passed for rulings on pre election matters

2. He has been cleared by the court before

3. APC are so daft to see the reasons above

U mean say APC agent dat double act as a witness didn't recognize or Adeleke during exam?
