According to Punch, reports on social media alleged that the Senator did not use his original O level certificate when he contested the Osun West Senatorial District by-election in July 2017.
Also, a group known as Renewal Youth Movement called out the Senator, asking him to present the original copies of his certificates or be dragged to court.
In his response, the Senator, through his younger brother, Dele Adeleke told Punch that the allegation is false.

He said “How can anybody believe such a story? You know the kind of opposition that rose up against him last year. Do you think the APC would not have raised the issues if he did not have the authentic certificates?
“Also, you are free to go to the school he attended and verify. That will be better than hearing from me or him. That story is not true and it should be discountenanced.”
DSS not investigating Adeleke
Also, the Department of State Services (DSS) has denied reports that it is investigating the lawmaker.
