Buhari gave ‘corrupt’ Nigerian judge N500,000 during certificate controversy, Witness tells court
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.
