Fraud: Court issues arrest warrant for Ondo ex-deputy gov, Agboola Ajayi

An Akure Magistrate Court has issued a bench warrant for former Ondo State deputy governor, Agboola Ajayi, in response to allegations of stealing.

The warrant was based on accusations that Ajayi obtained a brand new Toyota Camry valued at N5.4 million through false pretenses and engaged in theft back in May 2018.

The Commissioner of Police submitted an application for the bench warrant to ensure Ajayi’s appearance in court to address the allegations. The court ordered that Ajayi be produced in court or provide a statement on November 24.

Additionally, two former aides of Ajayi, Ogunmusi Samuel and Akintoye Olatunji, have already been arraigned before the court in connection to the car allegedly taken from Segun Adetuwo.

Samuel claimed that Ajayi instructed him to collect the car from Adetuwo.

However, the former deputy governor had failed to respond to the invitation to present his side of the incident.

The case has been adjourned for further hearing until November 24, 2023.
