Fayose to FG : Don’t shield Aluko from trial
Ado-Ekiti-Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has told the Federal Government not to shield Dr Tope Aluko from facing perjury trial.
A Chief Magistrate Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti had granted an experte order, compelling the State Commissioner of Police to bring Dr Tope Aluko
Aluko to Court for the purpose of committing him for trial for the offence of perjury.
But Aluko, on the 10th of February had approached the same Magistrate Court seeking the vacation of the Warrant of Arrest issued against him.
Aluko was wanted for allegedly recounting the statement earlier made on
oath during the trial of the election of Governor Ayodele Fayose at
the Election Petition Tribunal, where he served as a principal Witness
to the Peoples Democratic Party in a case instituted by the All Progressives Congress
