A group, Lagos State Liberation Congress, LASLIC, has called on the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the Nigeria Police to investigate allegations of certificate forgery and misappropriation of public funds levelled against the Chairman of the Orile-Agege Local Government Development Council, LCDA, Hon. Taofeek Adaranijo.
Chairman of the group, Mr. Balogun said the body was ready to stage a protest to the ACN secretariat, Acme Road and the State House of Assembly if nothing was done about the allegations against the chairman.
“Tomorrow, we are organising a demonstration. We will march to the Governor’s Office, state party secretariat and EFCC office to submit a letter requesting a full scale probe into the Adaranijo Administration.
We have made our allegations and we challenge him to contradict them and go to the court. Balogun showed newsmen documents, including the survey plan of the council building, alleging that they had a catalogue of misappropriation of funds by the council chairman.
He called on Adaranijo to resign from office if he could not prove his innocence on the allegations. However, Media Adviser to Adaranijo, Mr. Tunde Scot, said the allegations against his boss were completely false.
“We challenge those behind this faceless group to come out, if they are man enough. We will not submit to their blackmail,†he stated.
