Falana demands release of suspended Ogun LG boss from SSS custody

Rghts defender and senior advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has demanded the immediate release of the suspended Ijebu East Local Government of Ogun State, Wale Adedayo, from the custody of the State Security Services (SSS).

The secret police detained Mr Adedayo in Abeokuta on Friday, a few days after he accused Governor Dapo Abiodun of diverting the funds of local governments in the state.

Mr Adedayo made the allegation against the governor in a letter he wrote to a former governor of the state, Segun Osoba, and repeated in petitions to two federal anti-graft agencies.
