Adebutu Reports At Ogun Police Headquarters Over Vote Buying Allegation
The Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Ogun State, Ladi Adebutu, who was accused of vote buying during the March 18 election on Wednesday, visited the state police headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta.
Adebutu arrived at the police headquarters around 11 am to honour a police invite over allegations by the All Progressives Congress that he bought votes with preloaded ATM cards during the polls.
The governorship candidate had been out of the country and returned to Nigeria after over six months in the United Kingdom over the weekend.
The Chairman of the APC in Ogun, Yemi Sanusi, had petitioned the police, accusing Adebutu and other PDP members of vote-buying with the case now in court.
As soon as the governorship candidate returned, the APC, in a statement, asked him to turn himself in to the authorities and defend the vote-buying and money laundering charges preferred against him by the Federal Government.
Adebutu it was gathered was led into the State Criminal Investigation Department, after meeting the Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, alongside his legal team and other loyalists.
