Sheriff Adeojo carted away the laptop and council official documents.
As confirmed to TrackNews by one of the council workers who doesn’t want his name to be mentioned, he said, the acting chairman, Bar. Sakariyau Fasola detected the unlawful entrance to the chairman’s office when he resumed office last Thursday as an acting chairman, he was said to thereafter report the issue to the Head of Local Government (HLA) of the council, Mrs. Ojo.
According to the source, the HLA summoned all the Adhoc staff working at the council chairman’s office to investigate how the office was burgled as it was confirmed, with a laptop and some official files missing, but later handed them to state SCID when none of them was able to give a good explanation about the illegal entrance to the chairman’s office.
It was at the SCID office that one of the Chairman’s office Adhoc staff, named Bisi revealed how she released the office key to Hon. Ojo Yekini Sulaimon and his other councilors due to the threat to her life.
