OYACA called on civil servants to desist from all acts of corruption.
The convict, Adesina Olanrewaju Oyegoke, an Assistant Chief Executive Officer who worked with the Estate Department of Lagelu Local Government, Ibadan, was sentenced to three months imprisonment for a three count of official corruption under the OYACA Law 2019.
In the judgement delivered on Wednesday 14th August 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.
