A former Oyo State Commissioner, Kazeem Adedeji accused of defrauding
the state of N77 million was on Friday granted bail in the sum of N10
million by a Federal High Court, Lagos.
Adedeji, along with a former Director in the state’s ministry of
Trade and Investment, Yinka Fatoki as well as an employee of the Bank of
Industry, Kolawole Adewole, were arraigned on October 3 on six-count
charge bordering on conspiracy and fraud.
Although the trio pleaded not guilty to the alleged offence, Justice
Chukwujekwu Aneke had remanded them in prison pending ruling on
application for their bail filed by their counsel, Olabode Iranloye.
During the arraignment, the prosecutor, Effiong Asuquo, told the
court that the accused committed the offences between July 2012 and June
2013 when Adedeji was commissioner.
