Alleged

Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa

No substantiated corruption cases against Lucky Aiyedatiwa in current corpus. Eight of the nine "cases" in his file are stories about his anti-corruption *advocacy* or his mediation of EFCC actions — keyword-inference scrapes, not allegations. The ninth (a YouTube video alleging certificate forgery) is on an excluded social-media platform and lacks credible-outlet corroboration. Aiyedatiwa is incumbent (succeeded Akeredolu in December 2023; elected in his own right November 2024). Status: `alleged` (one circulating allegation but no credible-source corroboration in corpus; effectively `exclude` if reviewer wants a tighter bar). Recommend research follow-up on the alleged certificate-forgery story to determine whether any credible outlet (Premium Times, Vanguard, TheCable, Punch) covered it; if not, downgrade to `exclude`.
