*Ijebu East LG External Audit Report: Wale Adedayo involved in multi-million naira fraud
New facts have emerged on how the impeached chairman of Ijebu East LG in Ogun State, Wale Adedayo (Alias Babalawo) allegedly mismanaged the funds of the council running into tens of millions of naira.
Preliminarily reports of external auditors who recently examined the books of the Ijebu East LG made startling revelations on how the impeached chairman mismanaged the council funds as far back as 2021.
*External Auditor Findings*
The Ojowo road project from Ijebu Imushin to Ijebu Ife was “approved” for N4,400,000 (Four Million four hundred thousand naira) was sent to a personal account. After inspection, the said project was discovered to be waste of funds, an act of fraud, because the road is very bad again within three months.
The Council under Adedayo, spent funds against the statutory provisions of federal budget and spent without projects or approval, while money was released and paid out without vouchers.
*Spending without project*
There are instances of money being approved and sent to personal accounts, without prosper documentation of all the projects and money approved.
All local government receipts are fake! There were monthly payments to 12 staff who were not staff of the Council where another non-staff got advance payment of N50,000.
*Transfer to personal account of Adedayo*
In the Community Department, a sum of N2,556,000.00 (Two million, five hundred and fifty-six thousand naira) was withdrawn for “empowerment” but later transferred to the personal account of one “Wale Adedayo” on January 27, 2023, whereas no empowerment was held in the local government area.
Similarly, another sum of N3,556,000 was paid into the personal account of the former HOD of Community Department and later, within 24 hours, transferred into the personal account of one “Wale Adedayo” at Guaranty Trust Bank. However, the sum of N500,000.00 ( five hundred thousand naira only) was transferred back into the account of a local government staff.
Again, the money was said to be meant for “empowerment”, but no such programme held in the Local Government.
*N1,000,000. Spent of Immunization for goats *
The impeached council Chairman claimed to have spent N1,000,000.00 (one million naira) to immunize goats in the local government. The Supervisor for Agriculture, whose department purported handled the immunization, denied knowledge of such immunization. When contacted, the company said to have supplied the vaccine said they do not have the vaccine and even when they had, it was N600.00 (six hundred naira) per one as against N7,000.00 (Seven thousand naira) per one signed by Adedayo.
*Spending on Media*
Adedayo claimed to have spent about N450,000.00 (Four hundred and fifty thousand naira) on media for the commissioning of Legislative Chambers. There was no receipt to back up the amount and there was no clippings of the media reports on the commissioning to back up the expenditure.
*Multiple withdrawals by Adedayo’s driver from Project Account*
Another startling discovery are the startling withdrawal from the council’s project account at the Zenith Bank by Wale Adedayo’s driver by the name Adedayo Balogun. It was discovered that Balogun repeatedly withdrew from the account, more than 25 times, various amounts ranging from N30,000.00 (thirty thousand naira) to N50,000.00 (Fifty thousand naira). Balogun is not even a staff of the project department of the council.
It would be recalled that Adedayo had earlier alleged that the Ogun State government has not been sending money to his local government coffers from the federation account; a claim his fellow chairmen not only disassociated themselves from, but also showcased what many of them have been able to do with the federal allocations. However, Adedayo maintained that his council has not received a dime from the state government since he became chairman.
The state government on its part has published records of disbursement of funds to the 20 local government councils in Ogun State and has petitioned the police against Wale Adedayo for lies and public incitement. The police is currently prosecuting Adedayo on false claims at a Magistrate Court, Abeokuta.
The Ijebu East LG Councilors who impeached the former chairman after his eventual appearance before the legislative council, maintained that the former chairman grossly mismanaged the funds of the council, diverted funds and operated without budget approval, among other impeachable offenses.
The suspended chairman allegedly opened up before the full house of 11 councillors that he diverted federal allocations sent to the council by the state government and used them for purposes other than what the state government approved.
He was said to have also agreed that he spent the council funds till August 2023 even when the budget was yet to be approved whereas the laws only allow him to spend till March 2023.
Adedayo was said to have also opened up that he used N5.2 million to produce 20 pieces of chairs and tables instead of the 290 chairs and tables that the money was meant for as approved by the state government. He could not tell the House what the remnant of the money for chairs and table was used for.
On the issue of illegal levies and stickers to commercial transport operators in the LG, Adedayo said he thought the house had passed a bill to that effect, but Akindele reminded him that a bill if passed, would have been jointly signed by the leader of the house and the council chairman.
The Councilors said Adedayo had severally shunned invitations from the House, maintains that his issues with the Governor were mere ploy to divert attention and cover up his mismanagement of the council’s funds. The House stated that the chairman ran foul of the laws of the land, specifically the Ogun State Local Government Laws 2006, and committed serious impeachable offences.
Therefore, the leader of the House, Hon. Faseyi Akindele, after voting by the Councilors, pronounced Adedayo impeached as the chairman of Ijebu East LG.

NAWOJ: SEKINAT, CHARITY GETS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists,(NAWOJ), Ogun State Chapter Executives has unanimously passed a vote of confidence on Chairman NAWOJ SEKINAT Salam and the Financial Secretary, Charity James, saying that, their leadership reflect the ideal and objectives of NAWOJ.
This was revealed in a communique issued at an Emergency meeting of the Executive held at the NUJ State Council, Iwe-Iroyin in Abeokuta.
The vote of confidence on the Leadership of NAWOJ was unanimously signed by all the five executive members that attended the meeting with the vice chairperson taking apology for official engagement outside the state capital.
According to the communique ” Consequently, NAWOJ Ogun State Chapter, reaffirms it’s unwavering support and confidence in the Chairperson and the Financial Secretary, Sekinat Salam and Charity James respectively, Urge them to continue in their commitment to purposeful leadership in the best interest of the association and the society at large”.
Speaking briefly with Journalists after the emergency Executive meeting, the Chairperson, Nigeria Association of Woman Journalists (NAWOJ), Com. Sekinat Salam, said the meeting was necessary as the news of her suspension was laughable and insulting because it is like a pot calling a kettle black in this case, saying that the Leadership of the State Council, Com. Wale Olanrewaju has no local standing to suspend her or any executive member, even he cannot be a judge in his own case.
According to her” The Leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State led by Wale Olanrewaju has always been misusing power without recourse to the constitution of this noble Union, hence has no local standing to suspend me or any executive member “.
She said only the Central Working Committee (CWC) has the constitutional rights to sanction or suspend any members found wanting after due process has been followed.
While calling on members to stay calm, Com. Sekinat Salam assured members of positive representation of NAWOJ at both the State and National level, adding the success recorded under her administration cannot be overemphasized.
She therefore called on the National leadership of NUJ to critically look into the matter, either by setting up independent committee to investigate the issues and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
