Senator Ademola Adeleke has been granted a bail of two million naira by the Abuja High Court where he appeared just a day after he was arrested by the Nigeria Police.
One of his lawyers, Nathaniel Oke (SAN), stated that Senator Ademola Adeleke was arraigned on five count charges relating to certificate and result forgery.
Oke said: “He was arraigned on five count charge relating to certain already existing alleged offences in terms of testimonial issues in the former school where he graduated. And asides from that, they equally arraigned him that the result even the testimonials he presented when he was contesting were fake ones.”
An objection to the competency of the court raised during hearing was overruled by the judge saying that he has the right to be arraigned before the court.
Ok continued:
“He was formally arraigned, his plea was taken and he pleaded not guilty to all the counts as read against him. He was granted bail of two million naira and one surety in the like sum and the surety must be a resident in the jurisdiction of this honourable court.”
The case got adjourned to 24th of June 2019, for the purpose of prosecution presenting their witnesses for trial.
