Man Petitions Akeredolu Over Alleged Unethical Behaviour Of Ex-AG

A man by the name Fesobi Adeyemo has petitioned the Chief Judge
of Ondo State accusing the former Attorney-General and Commissioner
for Justice of the state for allegedly taking over a case which he
(Adeyemo) was prosecuting before the Magistrate Court 2, Oke Eda,
Akure as Complainant.

This is contained in a statement made letter sighted by
Nairalaw titled “UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR OF MR. CHARLES
TITILOYE IN CHARGE NO: MAK/59C/2018 COMMISSIONER OF POLICE AND
OSALUSI MICHAEL” signed by Adeyemo himself and copied to
the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Akure Branch

He said before the appointment of Titiloye as AG, the said
Titiloye was the counsel for the Defendant in the case and had even
cross-examined the PW1 who was Investigating Police Officer in
respect of the case

“It is to be noted that I, as the Complainant did not and has no
relationship with the Attorney General and has not requested for
the Honourable Attorney General to take over my the prosecution of
my case

“Sir, while I know that under the law the Attorney General can
take over a case but not in this circumstance. It is an abuse of
power and unethical behavior for Attorney General to do so when he
has vested interest in the matter since he is the counsel
representing the defendant and also sent a lawyer to defend the
Defendant and now sent a lawyer from the Ministry of Justice to
take over the case…” he said

He, therefore, urged the Chief Judge to investigate the matter
“to prevent pervasion of Justice by Mr. Charles Titiloye”

Recall that Titiloye has few days ago discontinued a case
relating to one Pelumi, who claimed to be a half-brother of the
state Chief Judge, Justice Akeredolu. Pelumi had in a viral video,
accused the state CJ of remanding him without trial for three
years, for going into his father’s house in Akure, the state
capital.

But the judge said she had no hand in the detention of her
purported half-brother, saying the matter was the handiwork of some
persons who wanted to use Pelumi against her family. The state
governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, had ordered the state attorney-general
to investigate the matter.
