President Muhammadu Buhari who is far away in the United Kingdon,
has been implicated in an ongoing trial after a witness in the
corruption trial of Justice Adeniyi Ademola, alleged that the president
gave the judge N500,000 while his certificate controversy was pending
before Ademola.
Recall that in 2015, some persons had filed a suit challenging
Muhamamdu Buhari’s candidacy prior to the presidnetial elections,
alleging the president had no secondary school certificate as required
by law.
Acording to Premium Times,
the witness said the money was given through President Buhari’s former
lawyer, Kola Awodeyin, adding that he does not consider the money a
bribe.
Justice Ademola alongside his wife, Olubowale, and a Senior
Advocate of Nigeria, Joe Agi, are currently being prosecuted by the
federal government for alleged corruption, though he has denied the
charges and requested accelerated hearing at the trial in Abuja.
This is a developing story, we'll be bring you more details later...
