(LOCAL) Court Grants Senator Adeleke Bail



  A magistrate Court in Mpape area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Tuesday admitted the 2018 Osun governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ademola Adeleke, to bail in the sum of N2m.

    Adeleke was arraigned before the court on a five-count charge bordering on alleged false statement and forgery. He, however, pleaded not guilty to all the five count charges read against him and his lawyer, Prince Adebiyi Adeyosoye accordingly moved an application for his bail on health grounds.

   But the prosecution counsel opposed the application on grounds that the defendant did not show evidence of his ill health, though, Justice zubaru in his ruling held that he was mindful to grant the bail application. As part of the conditions, the court ordered Adeleke to produce a surety in like sum, who must be a resident of the court’s jurisdiction.
