Irrefutable documented evidence shows a pattern of repeat criminal offences \u2013 12th July 1986, 6th November 1986 and 15th January 1987, in that order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a bid to manipulate extant provisions of Nigerian Constitution on the eligibility of ex-convicts or persons indicted for dishonesty and fraud to contest for public office (Section 182, subsection (d),(i) and (j), Governor Dapo Abiodun, deliberately CONCEALED his criminal past by Redacting his criminal records on 18th August 2015, at exactly 3:18 pm (Copy of Redacted page attached).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBelow are the details of the Redaction Data:<\/p>\n<p>CFN: 20150534571<\/p>\n<p>BOOK: 29743<\/p>\n<p>PAGE: 1170<\/p>\n<p>DATE: 18 Aug 2015<\/p>\n<p>TIME: 04:20:51pm<\/p>\n<p>Harvey Ruvin Clerk of Court.
