THE Akure Magistrate Court has issued a bench warrant for former Ondo State deputy governor, Agboola Ajayi over allegations of theft.

The former Deputy Governor is accused of stealing a brand new Toyota Camry valued at N5.4 million through false pretences and engaging in theft back in May 2018.
The state Commissioner of Police had submitted an application for a bench warrant to ensure Ajayi’s appearance before the court.
Two former aides of Ajayi, Ogunmusi Samuel and Akintoye Olatunji, have already been arraigned before the court in relation to the car allegedly taken from one Segun Adetuwo, popularly known as Showboy.
