Wale Adedayo, a former Chairman of the Ijebu East Local Government Area in Ogun State, has been released from the Ibara Correctional Centre in Abeokuta, the state’s capital, after spending nearly 48 hours in custody. His release followed his compliance with the bail conditions set by Magistrate Adejoke Araba.
Adedayo had been brought before Magistrate Adejoke Araba of Magistrate Court 2, Isabo, on Monday, following a petition filed by the Ogun State Government. The government alleged that the former Chairman had disseminated false information about the government and Governor Dapo Abiodun.
In court, Adedayo faced two charges and pleaded not guilty to both counts. The charges against him were as follows:
1. “That you, Hon. Wale Adedayo, on the 27th of August, 2023, at Abeokuta in the Abeokuta Magisterial District, unlawfully published a circular to the public, a letter addressed to the former Governor of Ogun State and Elder Statesman, Aremo Olusegun Osoba, in which you accused the present Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, of hijacking local government funds, knowing that such an allegation was false and likely to cause fear and alarm to the public or disturb the public peace. This act constituted an offense contrary to and punishable under Section 59 (1) of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun State, 2006.
2. “That you, Hon. Wale Adedayo, on the same date and place in the aforesaid Magisterial District, unlawfully published a circular to the public, a letter addressed to the former Governor of Ogun State and Elder Statesman, Aremo Olusegun Osoba, in which you accused the present Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, of hijacking Local Government funds (ten percent 10%) of the State Internally Generated Revenue, which the Constitution stipulates should go to the local governments since May 2019. You knew that this allegation was false and likely to injure the reputation of the Governor by exposing him to hatred, contempt, or ridicule or to damage him in the discharge of his office. This act constituted an offense contrary to and punishable under Section 375 of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun State 2006.”
Adedayo had been impeached by councilors on charges of financial misappropriation and the diversion of council funds, among other allegations leveled against him.
