WAS ACN LAWMAKER ADEYINKA MAFE INDICTED IN UK?

The lack of thorough background checks on our public officials have been a cause of concern to observers who have had a reason to doubt the integrity of government officials.

Of particular concern is the case of Adeyinka Mafe, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) lawmaker representing Sagamu Constituency in the Ogun State House of Assembly, who, according to social commentator,Kayode Ogundamisi:

“Was indicted by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal in the UK for fraudulent deception and duping clients to the tune of £695,000.00 aside many other fraudulent claims, when the UK became HOT Mafe relocated to Nigeria.”

Ogundamisi’s allegation draws similarity to the case involving convicted former governor of Delta, Chief James Ibori, who was said to have had a major brush with the authorities in the UK, being jailed along with his wife, Nkoyo for theft, before relocating to the country to later become the governor of the South South state.
