EX-PDP SECRETARY, ALUKO, FAILS TO STOP PROSECUTION FOR PERJURY



-          An attempt by a former Secretary of the Ekiti State chapter of the PDP, Temitope Aluko, to quash an order issued by a Magistrate Court in Ado Ekiti, for his arrest and prosecution for perjury, has failed.

-          The court on Wednesday struck out his motion seeking to set aside a warrant of arrest issued against him on February 3.
-          Mr. Aluko confirmed on television in February that the 2014 Ekiti governorship election was rigged, months after testifying in court that the poll was free, fair and credible.
-          On Wednesday, in dismissing the motion filed by the former PDP secretary’s counsel, Niran Owoseni; the Chief Magistrate, Soji Adegboye, said the application exercise is time wasting and abuse of court process.
