President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly ordered the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, not to invite Ademola Adeleke, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State for questioning.
Nigeria Police had reportedly filed charges against Adeleke for alleged examination malpractice and criminal conspiracy, a few days to the governorship election in Osun where he is a candidate.
There are reports, on Wednesday, however, that Buhari had ordered the IGP not to go ahead with his move.
Channelstv reports that Buhari ordered that Adeleke should not be invited until after Saturday’s election.
