The Oyo State governor has a slammed a N1bn on the management of Independent Communications Network Limited over allegations of money laundering leveled against Florence Ajimobi, the first lady of the state.
News made the rounds yesterday saying the governor’s wife was allegedly arrested by the London Met police for laundering the sum of N500m.
The special adviser to the governor on media, Festus Adedayo, stated that the report is not only wicked, it is the figment of the imagination of the writers.
“Mrs. Ajimobi was never arrested for any offence whatsoever. Even though our investigations have shown that this is the work of some arrowheads of the opposition, it was done in such an amateurish way that beats the imagination of any responsible reader” he further stated.
The release pointed accusing fingers at political opponents of the governor.
The government has seen it necessary to drag the publishers of the story before a competent court to explain the motive behind the report.
N1bn?? So much for defamation of character.
