The state police command had arraigned Adedayo before  Magistrate Court II, presided over by Magistrate A.K Araba on a two-count charge bothering on “deliberate circulation of falsehood” and interference with the exercise of executive function in the state.

His arraignment was sequel to a petition written by the secretary to the state government (SSG), Mr. Tokunbo Talabi, titled: “Petition against Wale Adedayo’s deliberate circulation of falsehood, false report to government, threat to life and interference with the exercise of executive function”.

In the charge sheet, the prosecuting counsel, Inspector Olaide Rawlings, the former council chairman “unlawfully publish circular to the public”, a letter addressed to the former governor of the state and elder statesman, Aremo Olusegun Osoba, wherein he accused Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun of hijacking local government funds.

The impeached local government area boss he alleged, “Himself knew was false allegation and likely to cause fear and alarm to the public or disturb the public peace, knowing or having reason to believe that such statement is a rumour and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 59(1) of Criminal Code laws of Ogun State, 2006”.
