Police arrest Adedayo, council chairman who accused Gov Abiodun of funds diversion

The police on Monday arrested the Chairman of the Ijebu East Local Government Area of Ogun State, Mr. Wale Adedayo.

Adedayo was reportedly arrested in his house by policemen numbering about 12.

He was said to have been taken away by the policemen and did not allow anyone to follow him.

A member of the family who spoke with the NPO Reports however confirmed that his lawyer had been contacted and had gone to the Eleweran Police Command headquarters of the police in Ogun State

Adedayo wrote on his facebook page Monday evening as he was being taken away, “Son of man is being taken to Ogun State Police CID at Eleweran, Abeokuta. They claim the state government wrote a petition against me.

“If it is death, I follow the path of the Patriarchs. Ase di owo Olodumare!”

Adedayo was impeached less than two weeks ago after he had earlier been suspended following the allegation against the governor.

The former chairman was also invited and detained by the Ogun State Command of the Department of the State Services, DSS, on the same allegation, for some days before he was released.

Adedayo had in a letter written to a former governor of Ogun State and the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Olusegun Osoba, alleged that the local governments in the state were running on zero allocation.

He also petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
