The police, in a report dated February 8, 2013 and signed by Ali Amodu, Commissioner of Police, X Squad, said an investigation revealed that there was communication between Salami and the ACN leaders while he was presiding over an election petition appeal filed by the party over the 2007 governorship election dispute in Osun State.

In the report, a copy of which was obtained by us, the police established that the Call Data Records (CDR) submitted to the National Judicial Council (NJC) to establish the fact that Salami communicated with the ACN bigwigs while presiding over the election petition appeal that removed Oyinlola from office was inadequate and did not properly reveal all the communication between the two parties.

Excerpts from the report read: “That GSM no 08034010700 belonging to Tunji Ijaya appeared to have been used as a link between GSM nos. 0803401111 (Lai Rauf Mohammed) 08062240104, 08034240000 (Bola Tinubu) and GSM no. 08034004887 belonging to Justice Ayo Salami as there was exchange of calls between Justice Salami and Tunji Ijaya in one hand and Tunji Ijaya with the other mentioned on the other hand.

“The exchange of phone calls spanned between September, 2010 to April, 2011.
