Buhari gave judge N500,000 during school certificate controversy in 2015 - witness says

According to Premium Times, a witness in the corruption trial of Justice Adeniyi Ademola has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari gave the judge N500,000 while his certificate controversy was pending before Mr. Ademola.

A suit had been filed challenging Mr Buhari’s candidacy prior to the 2015 general elections, alleging the president had no secondary school certificate as required by law. The witness also said the money was given through  Buhari’s former lawyer, Kola Awodeyin.

The witness, however, said he does not consider the money a bribe.
