Family Raises Alarm as Police Declines Bail for Arrested NNPC Cooperative Staff For Allegedly Failing to Pay N1million Bail Fee.

Detectives at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) annex, Alagbon has declined Bail for one Sunday Jolayemi, an Administrative staff of the NNPC Cooperative in Lagos. 

He was arrested allegedly on the Directive of Mr. Ojo Akindehinde, a staff of NNPC Limited who reportedly parades himself as the President amidst the crises rocking the organisation.

A staff of the cooperative, Mr Sunday Jolayemi was denied bail under the instruction of AIG Ochala after questioning on the allegation made by Mr. Ojo Akindehinde an employee of NNPC Limited, that Jolayemi collected a cumulative sum of N7million from the cooperatives account.

According to cooperative members who frown at police action, "This sum is his total salary for the year and a loan of N1m for his child school bills.

"He was granted bail, but the police officers are demanding the sum of N1m from this staff who received a salary last in November 2024.

"The condition is traumatising, and he does not have his medication with him." A staff said.

It was also reported that Ojo Akindehinde vowed that Jolayemi will rot in jail as he will use the instrument of NNPC Limited to crush him.

It was gathered that the Investigating Police Officers name is SP Sarumi Idris.

"He has written his statement, and a surety came over for his bail.

However, AIG Margaret Ochalla has demanded for him to come to her office and now demanded for another statement entirely to be written again as we speak.He is held in AIG Magaret Ochallas office now. The police headquarters should Kindly help intervene." They said.

Reacting to the allegation, AIG Ochalla said they did not demand any money from them.

According to her, they failed to provide a reliable surety.

"They will always say that. There was nothing like that. I was the one who asked them to grant him bail to a reliable surety. They did not bring a reliable surety. He embezzled money, which we have confirmed from our investigation. I don't like detaining people over the weekend. I gave an outstanding order that they should release him, but they could not provide a reliable surety." She said.
