Just In : LG chairman who petitioned EFCC against APC Governor suspended
Wale Adedayo, the chairman of the Ijebu East Local government area of Ogun State, has been suspended by the councillors of the council after he petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against Governor Dapo Abiodun. According to The Punch, a quorum of the councillors suspended the chairman for three months over alleged maladministration and financial mismanagement.
Reacting to the development, Adedayo said the story could be true because, on Thursday morning, August 21, the council secretariat was bombarded by some policemen and thugs. He said: “It might be true. Policemen bombarded the office along with thugs this morning.”
Earlier on Thursday, it was reported that hundreds of mobile police officers took over the secretariat following a move by Governor Abiodun to impeach Adedayo. In his petition to the EFCC, the suspended council chairman alleged that the governor has not remitted kobo from the federal allocation from the federal allocation to the local governments in the state.
