The Police have filed fresh
charges against Senator Ademola Adeleke, as he was arraigned before a
Magistrate Court in Mpape, Abuja on Tuesday.
Adeleke was arraigned on a fresh
five-count charge.
He was accused of forging a
letter of attestation and result from Muslim Grammar School, Ede, Osun State,
which he allegedly submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) before he contested the last governorship election in Osun State as the
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The police already have a similar
charge pending before the Federal High Court, Abuja in which he is currently
being tried with four others.
Adeleke pleaded not guilty when
the charges were read to him, following which Magistrate Muhammed Suberu
granted him bail at N2 million with one surety, who must reside within the
jurisdiction of the court.
The Magistrate also granted
Adeleke permission to travel abroad to attend to his health as earlier granted
by a Federal High Court in Abuja and a High Court of Osun State in Ikirun, The
Nation reports.
