AKALA NOT ARRAIGNED IN IBADAOLA AJAYI, IBADAN
FORMER Governor of Oyo State, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala could not be arraigned Monday by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for allege mismanagement of fund.

Though, it had been publicized that the ex-governor who is being held over alleged mismanaging N25billion meant for the state while he was the governor of the state, politicians and journalists who thronged the Federal High Court, Ibadan where the case was to be heard were disappointed as they waited endlessly for the arraignment of the ex-governor.

Initially, it was gathered that the case would come up at the Federal High Court, but, when loyalists of the ex-governor did not see him, information filtered in that the case would not be heard at the court because of the on-going Federal Judges Conference holding in Kano, all of them including some security men had to be shuttling between the state High court and the Federal Court.

Vanguard later gathered that the anti graft commission did not perfect filing of necessary papers on the case.

As at 4p.m yesterday, journalists were still waiting for the arrival of the EFCC officials and the ex-governor who were said to be on their way from Lagos.

Many loyalists of the governor were still loitering around the court premises which was heavily fortified by the presence gun-wielding security men as at the time of filing this report.

The PDP Chairman of the faction of Akala in the state, Alhaji Dejo Afolabi had mobilized his party members at Ona Ara at the weekend that they should be waiting for the embattled ex-governor who, he said, would come out unblemished after the whole episode.
