Barbaric! Policemen, Thugs Invade LG, As Councilors Suspend Chairman Who Accused Gov Abiodun of Diverting Ogun LG Funds For 2 Yrs

Governor Dapo  Abiodun on Thursday bared his fangs on a Local government chairman in Ogun State as councilors reportedly suspended Chairman Wale Adedayo, the Chairman of Ijebu-East Local Government Area, who accused the governor of diverting councils’ allocations.

The embattled Adedayo in a Facebook alert cried out that over 100 armed policemen and thugs invaded the council secretariat in Ogbere on Thursday morning over plot to remove him from office.

Adedayo had in a letter to the former Governor Olusegun Osoba and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) accused Governor Dapo Abiodun of diverting local government funds.

Abiodun had denied the allegations and insisted that his administration always augments LGs’ allocations to allow them meet monthly obligations.

But in an unexpected turn of events, all elected Council chairmen on Tuesday afternoon led by their leader, Hon Babatunde Emilola-Gazal, prostrated and begged Governor Abiodun for forgiveness.

The viral clip which showed the elected officials prostrating and begging the governor attracted more knocks for the governor, especially on social media.

Adedayo who raised the allegations against Abiodun was in attendance during the perceived truce meeting.

However, on Thursday morning, councilors moved to send the embattled chairman packing.

It was gathered that political thugs were mobilised to the council secretariat to effect the “ground plot” against Adedayo.

He was also invited by the DSS over the allegations against the governor.

Adedayo in a Facebook post said: “invading peaceful Ogbere community with mobile policemen in order to impeach Wale Adedayo is desperation. As I told the SSG yesterday, we took an oath with our fathers that we’ll make this land better than we met it. You can kill the body, but not the spirit of Wale Adedayo.”
