Former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, who was involved in the alleged examination malpractices trial involving him and four others, has been discharged by a Federal High Court in Abuja.
Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a ruling on today, Friday 29, 2020, said he was minded to discharge Adeleke in view of the prosecution’s decision to withdraw charges against him.
Justice Ekwo elected to continue with the trial of the other four co-defendants in the case, who were re-arraigned on Thursday on a seven-count amended charge filed in the name of the Inspector General of Police (IGP).
