The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Tuesday, dismissed the charges of examination malpractices allegedly perpetrated in favour of Ademola Adeleke, the candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in the last governorship election in Osun State.
Mr Adeleke, who lost the September 22, 2018 election to the incumbent Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, was originally arraigned along with four other defendants on October 31, 2018.
But the trial judge, Inyang Ekwo, later struck Mr Adeleke’s name from the seven charges following a request by the prosecuting lawyer, Simon Lough, on May 29, 2020.
