NewsNigeriaPoliticsIndividuals With Gov’t Property In Ondo To Face Prosecution

Individuals who have Ondo State Government property in their possession have been directed to return it immediately or face the wrath of the law.

The state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Kayode Ajulo, in a statement on Friday, noted that a large number of the state’s properties are in the hands of private individuals one year after the death of the former governor of the state, Rotimi Akeredolu.

The state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice explained that anyone who failed to return the assets would be prosecuted.

The statement reads in part: “As the chief law officer of the state, I must ensure that Ondo State operates within the framework of our constitution and laws. Our law enforcement and regulatory agencies must be fully accountable.

“One year after the untimely passing of former Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, a significant portion of the state’s assets had been unlawfully transferred into private hands. This is unacceptable.”

Ajulo warned that efforts to silence inquiries through blackmail and baseless accusations against the governor and some of his commissioners would not be tolerated.
