The Inspector-General of Police has been asked to arrest the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, over his an alleged certificate scandal.
The Center for Reform and Public Advocacy (CPRA) made the call on Saturday in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
It was reported that Tinubu claimed that his school certificates were stolen by unknown persons during the military rule in 1990.
The former governor of Lagos State stated this in an affidavit submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as part of his eligibility filings for the 2023 presidential elections.
It was gathered that documents released on Friday show that Tinubu left the columns for his primary and secondary education unmarked.
Tinubu, however, noted that he obtained a degree in business and administration in 1979 at the Chicago State University.
Speaking during a press conference in Abuja on Saturday, the Legal Adviser of the CRPA, Agu Kalu, urged the police boss to arrest and prosecute Tinubu for allegedly supplying false academic qualifications to secure the nomination.
