Oyo State House of Assembly has asked the Chairman of Akinyele Local Government, Taoreed Adedigba and his counterpart in Ibadan North Council, Agba Egbe, to step aside pending investigation into alleged gross misconduct and misappropriation of funds levelled against them.
This followed deliberation on the floor of the House during plenary yesterday.

The Assembly, however, directed the vice chairman in Akinyele Local Government to take over the council, while the secretary takes over the Local Council Development Areas (LCDA) 1 and the assistant secretary to take over LCDA 2.
Allegations of impunity, abuse of office and misappropriation of local government funds were levelled against them and this necessitated their suspension.
The Assembly has constituted an ad hoc committee headed by a member, Peter Ojedokun, to investigate the allegations.
