Impeached Ogun Council Chair Perfects Bail, Leaves Prison
The impeached chairman of the Ijebu East Local Government Area of Ogun State, Mr Adewale Adedayo, regained his freedom on Thursday after spending almost 48 hours in the Ibara Correctional Centre in Abeokuta.
Following his arraignment on two counts before the state’s magistrates’ court in Isabo, he was admitted to N2m bail with two sureties in like sum.
The magistrate, Adejoke Araba, however, ordered that he should be remanded in prison custody pending the perfection of the bail conditions.
It was gathered on Thursday that Adedayo finally met the bail conditions and regained his freedom.
The embattled LG boss, who was first suspended and later impeached by some of the local government lawmakers, had about a month ago accused Governor Abiodun of diverting funds and interventions meant for local governments in the state in the last three years.
He alleged that the governor diverted up to N10.8bn meant to develop 20 local governments in the state.
