The suspended Chairman of Ijebu-East Local Council of Ogun State, Wale Adedayo, who was detained by the Department of State Services (DSS), has regained his freedom.

“Wale Adedayo was released to me by the DSS a few minutes ago. Many thanks to everyone for speaking up,” his lawyer, Kayode Akinsola, said yesterday.
The suspended chairman was detained on Friday after an invitation by the DSS.

Adedayo had accused Governor Dapo Abiodun of withholding the statutory federal allocations due to the 20 local councils of the state, an allegation the state government had denied during a media briefing.

It was learnt that the suspended chairman was grilled for several hours at the DSS headquarters in Abeokuta before he was detained and eventually released. His release followed a statement credited to human rights activist, Femi Falana, who called for his release from the DSS custody.
