Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has tactically eased
out the current Head of Service, HOS, Mrs. Olabowale Ademola who is enmesh in
alleged bribery scandal with her husband, Justice Adeniji Ademola.The governor
has appointed Mrs Folashade Sidikatu Adesoye as acting HOS.
We gathered that the
decision was taken because the image of the Lagos State Government is being
smeared by the arraignment of Ademola with her husband in court by the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC over allegation of corrupt practices. n
Abuja High Court on Tuesday granted bail to justice Adeniyi Ademola and wife,
Olabowale, in the sum of N50 million each and adjourned trial into their matter
until Jan. 18.The two were arraigned by Federal Government on 11-count of
criminal conspiracy to receive gratification in various ways, contrary to
Section 8(1)(a) of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences
Act 2000.Justice Ademola was among the seven justices investigated after the
sting operations carried out on Oct. 8 and Oct. 9 by the Department of State
Services (DSS).
However, Ambode late on Wednesday acted swiftly by
appointing Adesoye as acting HOS.
Adesoye, was until her appointment the Permanent Secretary
of the Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, WAPA.
