By Jeffrey Agbo
The Department of State Services (DSS) has released a former governorship candidate of the Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ladi Adebutu.
The politician regained his freedom early Tuesday following detention on Monday after honouring the secret police’s invitation for questioning over alleged involvement in the disruption of local government election in Ogun State last weekend.
Adebutu’s media aide, Afolabi Orekoya, confirmed his release during a phone conversation with Channels Television.
Adebutu’s arrest was confirmed by the PDP Publicity Secretary in Ogun State, Kayode Adebayo.
Adebayo said, “This is to inform the members of our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party that the leader of the party has truly been detained by the DSS for charges yet unknown.

“However, our principal has called for calm and directed that all members of the party, supporters, and well-wishers should be rest assured that this time shall pass; it is one of the prices for our democracy.
“Several efforts have been made to secure his bail as of 10 p.m. on Monday, 18th November 2024 either on personal recognition or by a surety but none has yielded any result so far; his lawyers have been informed and they will take it up by tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.
“By this release, we want our people and the general public to be duly informed about his whereabouts and to maintain calm and peace until this matter is resolved.”
