The suspended Chairman of Ijebu East Local Government Area in Ogun State, Hon. Wale Adedayo, who had been detained by the Department of State Security Services (DSS) since last Friday, has been released.
Adedayo revealed that he was summoned by the DSS in response to a petition alleging that he was making inciting comments that could disrupt public peace.
He clarified that his comments were limited to his assertion that local governments had received zero allocations from the state government for the past two years. Adedayo affirmed his resolve to challenge his suspension from office, adding that his letter reporting Governor Dapo Abiodun to former Governor Olusegun Osoba was supported by other local government chairmen in the state.
The suspended chairman had previously accused Governor Abiodun of misappropriating public funds and forwarded a petition to anti-graft agencies regarding the same allegations.
However, the Joint Account and Allocation Committee in the state dismissed these claims, stating that all approved funds passed through the various Local Council Accounts.
