Oyo State House of Assembly has sacked the chairman of Irepo Local Government Area of the State, Mr. Lateef Sulaiman Adediran, over alleged diversion of funds.

The lawmakers during their plenary session on Thursday in Ibadan, said that the embattled chairman was sacked following the presentation and adoption of the report of the Joint Committee on Local Government, Chieftaincy Matters and State Honors, Public Accounts, Finance and Appropriation.

The Assembly added that the joint committee investigated allegations of running the local government with impunity levelled against the embattled
chairman.

The House noted that the removal of Adediran from office was in line with Section 21 of the Local Government Law, 2001, as amended.

The lawmakers directed the vice chairman of the council to immediately assume the position of acting chairman.

They also mandated the Leader of the House, Mr Busari Adegbenro, to fill the position of the acting Vice Chairman.

The lawmakers said, “The report found the local government Chairman culpable of allegations of diversion of public funds meant for the purchase of Toyota Camry 2016 model.

“Recall that the chairman, Mr Lateef Sulaiman Adediran had earlier been indicted by the office of the Auditor-General for Local Government in the State.

“The report found the local government chairman culpable of allegations of diversion of public funds meant for the purchase of Toyota Camry 2016 model.
The House also directed the executive arm of government through the Ministries of Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters and Justice to ensure that Mr. Lateef Sulaiman Adediran refund a sum #4,616,800.00 to the coffers of Irepo Local Government, being the difference between unreasonable #5.8m spent on replacement of covers of exercise books.”
