Abayomi, whose address was not provided, is facing trial on charges of conspiracy and theft. The legal officer, Joshua Babalola, employed by the State Security Service (SSS), alleged that Abayomi and others still at large committed the offences at Ambode’s residence.

Babalola claimed that Abayomi absconded to Old Garage, Molorundo Local Government Area, Osun State, where he was arrested by Ambode’s SSS on March 7. The offences, according to Babalola, contravene sections 287 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
