Adedayo was earlier on September 14, 2023 impeached by Ijebu East Local Counicl, following a petition he authored to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), seeking Abiodun’s probe on the allegations.

He was also arrested by police operatives on Monday at his residence in Ijebu-Ife, headquarters of Ijebu East Local Government Area and was detained at the Police headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta till Tuesday morning when he was charged to court.

But, at the court on Tuesday, the Defence Counsel, Barr. Kayode Akinsola, moved an application for the bail of the accused on the ground that the charges upon which he is standing trial are bailable.

In his response to the bail application, the Prosecuting Counsel, Inspector Olaide Rawlings, however, did not object to the bail application.

Delivering his ruling, however, Magistrate Araba admitted Adedayo to bail with the sum of N2million and two “responsible and reliable sureties” in like sum.

The Magistrate further stated that the sureties must be resident within the jurisdiction of the court and must possess landed property with evidence of tax clearance.

While adjourning further trial till October, the Magistrate, however, ordered that Adedayo be remanded at the Ibara Correctional facility in Abeokuta pending when he would perfect his bail conditions.
