Ado-Odo/Ota TWORA Branch Chairmen Pass Vote Of No Confidence On Union’s State Treasurer, Noah Ayorinde (Alaje) -Ask Ogun Government To Investigate Him For Financial Impropriety

Branch Chairmen of Three Wheelers and Owners Association (TWORA) in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government area of Ogun State have kicked against what they termed, ‘financial impropriety and high handedness’ on the part of the association’s state Treasurer, Mr. Noah Ayorinde, popularly called ‘Alaje’.

The aggrieved Chairmen, who spoke during a press conference lamented the ‘overbearing’ manner with which the state Treasurer, Alaje deals with members of the association.

“We have always been having problem with him since the inauguration of this association. Those of us in Ogun West have not enjoyed this job at all. 

"When the association was inaugurated, all the executive members were invited to a meeting in Abeokuta, the state capital and we were made to understand that each ticket costs N550, but Alaje persuaded us that the money would be increased to N640 with an excuse that the party elders would be taken care of with the increment. 

"Initially, we agreed and we were paying N640 before the Coronavirus Pandemic started, but we could no longer bear the sudden increment. Regardless of the intermittent working schedule, he refused to revert the money to the initial amount that the state approved.

"Whenever we were issued ticket, we were always short-changed. We could be issued three IRS, three state and garage and maybe, two union tickets. 

"Though, we are aware that his claims were not true, we still managed to work like that. It got to a point that the ticket fee was increased to N700 with the excuse that they wanted to construct the association’s secretariat. 

"This development became so unbearable for all of us that we could no longer meet our weekly targets. Whereas, despite our plight, the last work we did was given to us at N750.

The height of the matter was that Alaje brought in another association, TORAN to do our jobs, which is not practicable in any organization," they said.

In what appeared as if the branch Chairmen had already reached their endurance threshold, they accused the state treasurer of sharp practises as they said that their investigation revealed that the money that was supposed to be allotted for the party elders never got to any of the elders.

“We have now done our investigations, and we discovered that no party elder in the local government was at anytime, given any money by the state Treasurer, nor has he paid any money on the association’s behalf to the local government. 

"This development is nothing but ‘financial misconduct’ and looting of the association’s hard earned money; even at a time that the government of President Muhammadu Buhari is working tirelessly to nip corruption in the bud," they said.

The Chairmen then called on the state governor, Prince (Dr.) Dapo Abiodun and the state executives of TWORA to investigate the state treasurer as they said that they no longer have confidence in his leadership style.

All efforts to make Mr. Noah Ayorinde speak on the matter proved abortive as calls made to his phone were not answered whereas the message sent to him was acknowledged as at the time of filing this report.

Court Sets Aside Arrest, Remand, Wanted Declaration Against Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos, has set aside its earlier ex-parte order authorizing the arrest, remand, and “wanted” declaration of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran. The development follows the earlier declaration of Akanbi as wanted for alleged multiple murder by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Olorundare Jimoh, on February 19, 2026. However, in a ruling delivered today, Magistrate L.A. Owolabi of Magistrate Court 3 nullified the ex-parte order initially granted on February 16, 2026. In his decision, Magistrate Owolabi held that the order was obtained through the concealment of material facts. The court specifically noted that the counsel who filed and argued the application, Nosa Watson Uhumwangho, was under suspension by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee at the time and therefore lacked the right of audience before the court. The ruling sparked jubilation among members of the youth wing of the Ojomu royal family, who...
