The Mudashiru Obasa-led Lagos State House of Assembly has sacked the Ifako Ijaiye Local Council Development Area Chairman, Oloruntoba Oke, for mismanagement of the Council’s fund.
Speaker Obasa announced the sack of Oke after the committee set up to investigate the misappropriation of N350 million loan received by the Council submitted its report.
The Committee further indicted Oke for financial misappropriation and recklessness.
Officials and Councilors of the Council petitioned the Chairman over the misappropriation of the loan, prompting the Assembly to wade into the matter.
Obasa instructed the Vice Chairman to fill the vacuum left behind by the sacked Chairman, saying that the move by the Assembly will deter other Council Chairmen from toying such path.
The Speaker stressed that in line with President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, APC’s fight against corruption, it was necessary to sack Oke and also to curb the financial anomalies and recklessness of Council Chairmen.
