Chief Esuleke who is also a stalwart of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, his son, Kola Adeosun, Akeem Idowu, were brought to court by the state prosecution department on August 5 but the proceedings were stalled due to the defendant being absent from court.

However, they all pleaded not guilty to the alleged offences pressed against them.

Justice Ayo Oyebiyi, who presided over the matter, ordered that they should be remanded in Ilesa Correctional Facility and adjourned the matter till September 21st, 2021 for consideration of bail.
