The impeached Chairman of Ijebu East Local Government of Ogun State, Wale Adedayo, has again been arrested by the police.The ex-council boss had accused Governor Dapo Abiodun of seizing federal allocations to local governments in the state thereby leaving them running on zero allocations.
The state government and the chairpersons of the other local governments in the state have denied Mr Adedayo’s claims. A few days after the claim, the legislative council of Ijebu East Local Government suspended him for alleged financial maladministration.Arrest In his Facebook account, Mr Adedayo wrote, “Son of man is being taken to Ogun State Police CID at Eleweran, Abeokuta. They claim the State Government wrote a petition against me.However, when contacted, the police spokesperson in Ogun State, Omolola Odutola, said she was not aware of the arrest, promising to get back as soon as she is briefed.The State Security Service had earlier last month detained Mr Adedayo over the same issue.
