Osun Govt To Take Action On Jailed Apetu
Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has instructed the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs to take action on the jailed Apetu of Ipetumodu, Oba Joseph Oloyede.
Adeleke made the order on Friday during the State Executive Council meeting.
According to a statement by the state Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, the governor described the development as ugly, calling for urgent action on the matter.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that US District Judge, Christopher A. Boyko, ordered the monarch to “serve three years of supervised release after imprisonment and pay $4,408,543.38 in restitution.”
US Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio, in a statement on August 26, 2025, said Oloyede led a conspiracy to exploit COVID-19 emergency loan programmes created for struggling businesses.
Since the judgement, uneasy calm has pervaded the town, with the princes insisting that the state government should decide on replacing Oba Oloyede.
