The Department of State Services (DSS) has released the suspended Chairman of Ogun East Local Government, Wale Adedayo.
Adedayo had dragged Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, before the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), demanding the investigation of the governor over alleged mismanagement of local government funds.
Adedayo, who was also suspended by some councillors in Ijebu East LGA, accused Abiodun of withholding the statutory Federal Allocation due to the state’s local governments since 2021.

Following the development, the DSS invited Adedayo for interrogation and when he turned up for the invitation last Friday, he was asked to respond to the petition submitted to the secret police by the Ogun State Government.
It was gathered that part of the petition was that Adedayo was instigating widespread acts of public disturbance and chaos in Ijebu East Local Government Area.
The embattled council boss however denied the allegation but the DSS decided to detain him due to his refusal to withdraw the allegation leveled against Governor Abiodun.
His incarceration led to various groups and human rights Lawyer, Femi Falana, calling for his release.
