Oyo LG Worker Jailed Over Illegal Sale of Govt Land

The Oyo State Anti-Corruption Agency (OYACA), on Thursday, announced the conviction of a local government worker in the State over illegal sale of land belonging to the State Housing Corporation.

In a Press Release made available to newsmen in Ibadan on Thursday which was signed by the Executive Secretary of the Agency, Barrister I.O Tijani, on behalf of the Chairman of OYACA, Honorable Justice Eni Esan (rtd.), OYACA called on civil servants to desist from all acts of corruption.

The convict, Adesina Olanrewaju Oyegoke, an Assistant Chief Executive Ogficer who worked with the Estate Department of Lagelu Local Government, Ibadan, was sentenced to three months imprisonment for a three count of official corruption under the OYACA Law 2019.

In the judgement delivered on Wednesday 14th August 2024 by Magistrate O.A Akande (SMI), presiding over Special Court 8, Iyaganku, the court found Oyegoke guilty on all counts and sentenced him to three months in jail.

“OYACA uses this medium to warn Civil servants to desist from all acts of corruption, as it only plunges the State into underdevelopment and disparage the good image and enviable status of the Oyo State government,” Eni Esan stated.
