A councillor in Odo Otin North Local Council Development Area of Osun State was arrested on Monday for allegedly attacking Governor Gboyega Oyetola on Facebook.
The councilor simply identified as Raji is a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and represents Ward 15A, Oyan in the LCDA.
He was arrested for allegedly operating a Facebook account called ‘Osun Media Guru’ used in attacking the governor.
An associate of the parliamentarian told The PUNCH that Raji was arrested in his house in Osogbo.
Raji, however, confirmed to the newspaper on Tuesday that he had been released.
“I wrote a petition to our party chairman when they first accused me of running a Facebook account with the name Osun Media Guru,” he said.
“I have been released. I was arrested around 8 am at my house in Osogbo. We will address the issue in due course.”
