Councilor Lands in ICPC Net For Receiving Double Salaries As Civil Servant and Political Office holder

Posted By Published

A Councillor in Agbado -Okeodo LCDA in Lagos, Ogunyemi Olatunji Emmanuel, has run into trouble water with the Independent and Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC.


The Councilor who represents Ward G in the LCDA was at the Ikoyi office of ICPC on Tuesday following an invitation by the anti-graft agency over a petition written against him.

The anti corruption agency is reported to be investigating the councilor for an alleged corruption and abuse of office contrary to certain provisions of the constitutions of Nigeria.


Ogunyemi was alleged to have been receiving double salaries concurrently as a political office holder and as a civil servant with the Lagos State Universal Basic Education, SUBEB in violation of Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 5 of 2000, .


Further findings shows that Ogunyemi as a civil servant with Oracle Number;132138 gets monthly salary through his Polaris bank account number:1767634542. And at the same time gets paid as an elected councilor with his WEMA bank account number:0122746192 since July 2017.

This, according to a petition by LYGEL Youths and Leadership Initiatives, a civil society group, titled: CORRUPT PRACTICES OF MR. OGUNYEMI OLATUNJI, THE COUNCILLOR REPRESENTING WARD G, AGBADO-OKEODO LOCAL COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT AREA,ABULE –EGBA, LAGOS STATE: A CALL FOR THOUROUGH INVESTIGATION is a clear case of corruption which must be investigated and prosecuted.


The petition dated 11th August, 2021 and signed by Olalekan Oladipupo, a legal practitioner and forwarded to ICPC alleges that Ogunyemi’s act of corruption is one of the reasons why there is non-availability of jobs for the teeming Lagos youths.


 The group charges the ant graft agency not to sweep the case under the carpet stressing that Ogunyemi has the backing of powerful forces within his political party.
