Examination malpractice: Buhari stops IGP from inviting Adeleke

President Muhammadu Buhari has stopped the Inspector General of Police, (IGP) Ibrahim Idris, from inviting the Osun State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ademola Adeleke, over an alleged examination malpractice.
The Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), Acting DCP Jimoh Moshood, had in a statement summoned Adeleke and four others namely Mr. Sikiru Adeleke, Aregbesola Mufutau (Principal of Ojo-Aro Community Grammar School, Egbedore LGA, Osun State), Mr. Gbadamosi Thomas Ojo (School Staff responsible for the registration of candidates for NECO), Mr. Dare Olutope (School Teacher who allegedly facilitated the commission of the crime) to report to the Special Investigation Panel, Force Headquarters, Abuja immediately for arraignment in court.
They were summoned over allegations of examination malpractice, criminal conspiracy, impersonation, breach of duty, aiding and abetting.
The crimes were alleged to have been committed during the 2017 NECO examinations.
A presidency source declared that Buhari told the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, “to inform the IGP of the latest directive”.
The source told Freedom Online: “Of course, the President will never stop the police from doing their work but some people are already insinuating that the police may be acting the President’s script because of Saturday’s election in Osun.
“We all know that the APC is firmly on ground in Osun. We don’t want a situation in which sympathy votes will go to the PDP because of this invitation. The IGP has been told that all actions on the invitation be suspended until after the election”
The Senator will on Saturday battle with Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Moshood Adeoti of the Action Democratic Party (ADP); Iyiola Omisore of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Fatai Akinbade of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and others.
