Adesina Olanrewaju Oyegoke, an Assistant Chief Executive Officer who worked with the Estate Department of Lagelu Local Government, Ibadan, has been sentenced to three months imprisonment for illegal sale of government land.
The Oyo State Anti-Corruption Agency (OYACA), who announced the conviction, said the local government staff sold a land belonging to the State Housing Corporation.
In a press release made available to newsmen in Ibadan which was signed by the Executive Secretary of the Agency, I.O Tijani on behalf of the Chairman of OYACA, Justice Eni Esan (rtd.), called on civil servants to desist from all acts of corruption.
The convict was convicted on a three-count charge of official corruption under the OYACA Law 2019.
In the judgement delivered 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.
