Buhari gave allegedly "Corrupt Judge" N500000 during his certificate scandal - Witness speaks
A witness in the corruption trial
of Justice Adeniyi Ademola has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari
gave the embattled judge N500,000 while his certificate controversy was
pending before Mr. Ademola.
Some
persons had filed a suit challenging Mr. Buhari’s candidacy prior to
the 2015 elections, alleging the president had no secondary school
certificate as required by law.
The witness said the money was given through Mr. Buhari’s former lawyer, Kola Awodeyin.
The witness, however, said he does not consider the money a bribe.
Mr.
Ademola is being prosecuted by the Nigerian government for alleged
corruption. He has denied the charges and requested accelerated hearing
at the trial in Abuja.
The federal judge is being prosecuted alongside his wife, Olubowale, and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Joe Agi.
