Adeleke’s declaration to INEC on July 20, 1988, was made when Osun State was not yet a state. Additionally, the SSCE results mentioned in the testimony demonstrated that the examination format wasn’t in use in 1981. The 2018 Heading, Ede Muslim High School testimonial shows that the principal who signed the 1988 testimonial also signed the 2018 testimonial.

 

This led to the principal’s arrest, and Adeleke’s attorney states that his secondary school hasn’t publicly refuted the testimony. This resulted in the principal being arrested. Adeleke’s defence attorney asserts that Adeleke’s secondary school has not publicly refuted his testimony, asking the court to dismiss the case. The court declared that Adeleke’s forgeries could not be established and dismissed the case. According to testimony given in court by one of the witnesses, he said Adeleke was not present in the examination room.
