Legit recently reported that Segun’s elderly parents also spoke about his case with actress Biola Adebayo.
In a recent post, Luyek shared a clip showing the moment he met with Governor Adeleke. The actor also expressed gratitude to everyone who took action to help Segun.

Governor Adeleke told to suspend ceremony
Meanwhile, Legit also reported that the Federal Government urged the Osun state governor to postpone the foundation-laying ceremony for the state international airport.
This was due to the controversy over the project’s move to a new location.
In 2023, Adeleke established an interministerial team to revitalize the shuttered airport.
