BEVERLY HILLS, September 19, (THEWILL) – The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has confirmed that Senator Ademola Adeleke, gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who was accused of not having its certificate actually wrote his Senior Secondary Certificate Exams (SSCE) in 1981.
The council confirmed Adeleke’s participation in an affidavit deposed at an FCT high court in Bwari, Abuja sworn to by Henry Sunday Adewunmi Osindeinde, deputy registrar, head of school examination department, WAEC.
He confirmed that Adeleke sat for the May/April SSCE 1981 at Ede Muslim High School in Osun state.
THEWILL recalls that the dancing senator Adeleke was accused of not having the certificate and tha he did not graduate from Jacksonville State University (JSU) in the United States.
In view of that, policemen from Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), Alagbon, Lagos in August 2, started an investigation and stormed Ede Muslim High School I, where the principal of the school, Mr. Khalid Abbas, was arrested and taken to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) Osogbo.
In a bid to maintain the democratic principle and rule of law, Court therefore gave WAEC five days to produce Adeleke’s results.
The court, in a ruling that was delivered by Justice Othman Musa, directed that WAEC should depose an affidavit, to either deny or confirm that Adeleke who is currently representing Osun West Senatorial District, sat for the Exams the Council conducted at Ede Muslim High School in Ede, Osun State, in 1981.
WAEC has however, confirmed that Adeleke sat for its examination.
