Group Exhumes Kolapo Kola Daisi’s N1B Fraud After Securing APC Senatorial Ticket
An Oyo State youth forum, Oyo Vanguard has petitioned the anti graft agency, EFCC over the alleged N1b fraud perpetuated by Kolapo Kola Daisi who just won the ticket of the All Progressive Party (APC) for the Oyo South Senatorial District some years back.
Kolapo Kola Daisi, is the son of foremost Nigerian industrialist, Bashorun Kola-Daisi (CON), and married to Senator Abiola Ajimobi’s daughter, polled 212 votes to defeat the incumbent, Kola Balogun, who scored 93 votes; former Oyo State Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Sharafadeen Alli (107 votes); Adegboyega Adegoke (53 votes); Bimbo Adekanmbi (98 votes), Rotimi Adeniyi (four votes) and Waheed Olajide (two votes).
It will be recalled that Kolapo Daisi, an in-law to the former Oyo State Governor, Late Abiola Ajimobi, alongside the Managing Director of Heritage Bank Plc, Ifiesimama Sekibo, were arraigned before the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja for an alleged fraud of N1 billion.
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.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), alleged that the defendants obtained the sum of N1bn from Heritage Bank Plc “by falsely representing the sum as proceeds of Vlamings Professional Limited’s investment in Heritage Bank Plc.”
The commission accused them of dishonestly converting Heritage Bank’s property, in the sum of N1 billion for personal gains.
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.
In a statement shown to papermacheonline reporter, the group stated that its discouraging and unlawful and advised the APC to be careful as it might cost the party a lot at the polls.
A recent viral moment has unexpectedly stirred the political waters for Power Minister Adebayo Adelabu’s 2027 gubernatorial bid in Oyo State. Here’s how it unfolded—and the fallout that followed:
An audio featuring Ibadan socialite, Chief Akinade Fijabi and an unidentified young man surfaced online.
In the audio, Fijabi, an Ibadan high Chief and singer, Wasiu Ayinde’s closest ally bared his thoughts on political bearings in Oyo State and centred it round the Minister for Power, Adebayo Adelabu.
The audio quickly gained traction, sparking laughter and debate across social media platforms in Oyo and beyond.
The audio briefly overshadowed Adelabu’s image and critics seized the moment to question his ability, business sense and highlight potential vulnerabilities in managing grassroots affairs.
Even before the audio, Adelabu’s return to APC and flirtation with a 2027 run had unsettled internal party dynamics. The audio gave fuel to factions already uneasy about his rapid elevation and perceived attempt at imposition.
APC hardliners and youth groups, who’ve openly criticized the party’s handling of aspirants like Adelabu, echoed that the viral moment underscores deeper frustration about favoritism .
Adelabu’s allies are downplaying the audio, arguing that public interactions reflect openness and a grassroots presence and qualities essential for statewide appeal. They’ve also pointed to his achievements, including boosting national grid capacity, as evidence of credible leadership .
Fijabi in the audio also shed some lights based on what he termed ‘reliable information’ on Governor Makinde’s Presidential ambition, claiming it was a plot to collapse the PDP in Oyo State for President Tinubu with an agreement that the Governor would be granted the request to install a successor.
The clip audio shifted part of the conversation from Adelabu’s technocratic record to his public persona. Analysts say managing optics now matters more than ever for his brand.
