They were charged along with others including Dimire Dike, Wumi Adeniyi, Funmilayo Taiwo, and Akeem Durotoye.

The charges border, among others, on conspiracy, stealing, obtaining money under false pretenses, and forgery.

Sekibo, Late Ajimobi’s son-in-law, conspired with others and obtained money under false pretenses and forgery.

They were accused of forging a document titled ‘RE: Expression of Interest in Agric Fund Management Scheme.”

According to the anti-graft agency, the defendants allegedly forged the document dated April 2, 2015, “purporting it to be a loan scheme executed in favour of Vlamings Professionals Limited.”

The EFCC claimed that the defendants sent the document to it (EFCC), hoping it would be mistaken as genuine.

Kolapo Kola-Daisi is currently the treasurer of Heritage Bank

In a recent development, a group of youth in the state, have kicked against the party for giving Kolapo Daisi the party ticket to represent the people of Oyo North constituency in the senate in the coming general election despite having a pending financial matter.
