Group Asks Police IG To Probe Gov. Abiodun Over Alleged Certificate Forgery
The Assembly of Patriots International (API), Ogun State Chapter, has asked the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to investigate the educational qualifications of Governor Dapo Abiodun.
Concise News gathered that the Secretary of API, Olasukanmi Oyekale, stated this in a petition to the IG of Police on Monday in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
In the petition, dated August 7, Abiodun is accused of false declaration under oath when he contested the senatorial seat in 2015 and during the 2019 governorship election in his form, CFOO1.
It claimed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Abiodun conspired to engage in what it described as a ‘nefarious act’.
“Although we are aware that an executive governor cannot be prosecuted while in office, the Supreme Court has clearly ruled that a governor can be investigated and if found culpable, should be prosecuted upon exit from office,” the petition read.
“As clearly shown on the face value of the attached forms CF001 that Governor Dapo Abiodun filled and signed on oath in 2015 and 2019, he clearly committed an offense by knowingly providing false information.
“The said information was provided with a view to misleading the electoral umpire and benefit from the same by criminally claiming to have attended and obtaining non-existing educational qualifications.
“We, therefore, implore you to use your good offices as the Inspector-General of Police to investigate thoroughly the possible involvement and collusion of the All Progressives Congress which screened and certified the credentials submitted to it by Governor Dapo Abiodun for its roles in this nefarious act.”
