Other offences include, selling and allocation of government property with neither accountability nor due process, abuse of office through hijacking of government contracts in contravention of the constitution, shabby dealings leading to incessant police invitations, arrests and detentions despite being the occupant of official position which goes with integrity and respect.
Also, he was accused of abandonment of the official secretariat and turning his residence to operational office for months, high-handedness leading to exodus of staff to other local government areas of the state and zero accountability on implemented projects, e.g shabby implementation of channelization of White House Road, Oko.
Mr. Ezekiel Odedeji from Iregba Ward 06 seconded the motion to suspend the Mr. Maruf Gbadamosi indefinitely.
