The police have detained Ademola Adeleke, lawmaker representing Osun west senatorial district.

The senator was candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2018 governorship election in Osun state.

In a statement on Monday, the campaign organisation said Adeleke had honoured an invitation at the force headquarters in Abuja before he was detained.

“We alert the public, diplomatic and democracy community worldwide that the Nigerian Police has arrested and detained Senator Ademola Adeleke on old trumped up charges of certificate and testimonial forgery,” the statement read.

“This is after the school principal and school authority have through affidavits denied any forgery and owned up to the school testimonial issued to Senator Adeleke.

“Senator Adeleke had this morning honoured police invitation at the force headquarters, Abuja. He arrived at the force headquarters at 9am and was not attended to until later this afternoon when he was informed of fresh charges of testimonial forgery. The distinguished Senator was taken to Maitama Police station with plan to arraign him tomorrow at an undisclosed Magistrate court.”

Arresting prominent opposition figures seem to be higher on the police and federal government's list than the major security issues in this country.

The reasons given for the usual political arrests are very flimsy. Earlier on it was Efcc opening or rather reopening cases against Saraki as he is about to leave office. Now it's Senator Adeleke's own case that is very obviously political. A case that has already been in court.

These actions set a bad precedent. When PDP was in power despite all their wrongdoings they did not go after opposition like this .They didn't spew propaganda in this manner. This government has dictatorial tendencies.

They should however realise that no one holds power forever. I just hope a cycle of revenge would not be created.

This country sef....nawa!

hummmm

Nigeria My Country

Senator Adeleke has been arrested for refusing to lose some weight. Mr. Ibu could be next.

Let proper investigation take its place. If he's found guilty, then proper prosecution should follow.
