News reaching NOTM online indicated that the impeached Chairman of Ijebu-East Local Government, Wale Adedayo, has again been arrested by the police in Ogun State.
This came some weeks after he was released from the Directorate of State Services detention, after spending three days.
Adedayo who is a journalist announced his latest arrest on Monday afternoon in a post on his Facebook page.
Adedayo stated that he was arrested as a result of a petition allegedly submitted to the police by the state government.
“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!” [sic],” he wrote.
Recall that the embattled ex-chairman was removed from office following a letter he wrote to an ex-governor of the state, Chief Olusegun Osoba and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), wherein he accused Governor Dapo Abiodun of withholding council funds.
This latest arrest on Monday came a few days after Governor Abiodun said Adedayo would be held accountable for defaming him.
“There are two things: he (Adedayo) lied against me as the governor; he lied against me as Dapo Abiodun; he spoiled my name; and he tried to incite the public against the government. Wale Adedayo has to answer all these allegations one after the other,” Abiodun had vowed.
Meanwhile, the Police Public Relations Officer in Ogun, Omolola Odutola, told journalists she wasn’t aware of the arrest, promising to revert as soon as she is briefed.
