Adebare/Oko Cole Transformer: Sofola Clears The Air, Tells Police He Did Not Order Relocation.

Posted By Published

 


  • ·        Matter partially resolved as Police calls for an amicable resolution.
  • ·        Another transformer to be given to Adebare Community by Kosofe LG
  •  


The erstwhile Chairman of Kosofe Local Government Hon. Afolabi Sofola has blown the lid off a statement made to the Police by Kosofe Local Government Area CDC Chairman, Mr. Segun Babatunde, that he gave the directive for the relocation of a transformer belonging to Adebare Development Community to Oko Cole Community in 2019 while he was in office.

 

Hon. Sofola was reportedly at the Zone II Command Headquarters, Onikan on Tuesday to clear himself of any wrongdoing or involvement in the alleged fraudulent relocation of the transformer following his invitation last week by Zone II Command Headquarters.

 

Kosofe Reporters reliably gathered that the former council chairman was visibly enraged over the allegation levelled against him and vehemently declared to Zone II police personnel investigating the matter and some other invited people from Kosofe LGA that contrary to the statement made by Mr. Babatunde, he did not instruct him to take the controversial step.

 

It was also gathered that the former council chairman stated that he couldn’t have ordered the relocation of the transformers without proper documentation and without making provision for a replacement to the affected community.

 

He, therefore, challenged anyone who thought otherwise to come up with documents he had signed approving the relocation of the transformer.

 

Hon. Sofola however disclosed to the investigators that he was only informed by the CDC Chairman that there was a transformer languishing in a community at Oworo which needed to be repaired.

 

He said afterwards he never heard again from the CDC Chairman.

 

It will be recalled that the CDC Chairman had stated in a post he posted on social media over a week ago, in response to the allegation of stealing and selling a transformer levelled against him, that the chairman instructed him to relocate the transformer to Oko Cole community.   

 

However, the startling revelation by Hon. Afolabi Sofola at Zone II on Tuesday has totally burst the bubble of the CDC Chairman and put paid to the controversy surrounding the transformer.

 

Kosofe Reporters further learnt that Zone II command Headquarters also advised both parties to go back home and resolve the matter amicably before coming back to the command for final resolution.

 

One of the resolutions being put forward is the replacement of the Adebare Community Transformer by Kosofe Local Government after the conclusion of proper investigation on the whereabouts of the controversial transformer.
