A Federal High Court in Abuja has discharged former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke in the alleged examination malpractices trial involving him and four others.
The trial judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a ruling on Friday, said he was minded to discharge Mr Adeleke in view of the prosecution’s decision to withdraw charges against him.
Justice Inyang Ekwo however decided to continue with the trial of the other four co-defendants in the case, who were re-arraigned on Thursday.
They are being tried on a seven-count amended charge filed in the name of the Inspector General of Police (IGP).
