An Assistant Chief Executive Officer with the Estate Department of Lagelu Local Government, Ibadan, Adesina Oyegoke was sentenced to three months imprisonment over illegal sale of land belonging to the state housing corporation.
Oyegoke’s conviction was announced by Oyo State Anti-Corruption Agency, on Thursday.
A statement on Thursday, signed by the Executive Secretary of the agency, I.O Tijani, on behalf of the Chairman of OYACA, Justice Eni Esan (retd), called on civil servants to desist from all acts of corruption.
In the judgement delivered on Wednesday, August 14, 2024, 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.
