Ondo AG Warns Akeredolu’s Aides to Forfeit Govt Properties

Ondo State has warned aides of the late Governor of the state, Rotimi Akeredolu, to forfeit all government properties in their possession with immediate effect.

The state Attorney General (AG) and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Kayode Ajulo, issued this directive on Friday.

In a statement released in Akure, Ajulo warned that those who fail to comply with this order will face strict legal actions.

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

“During a candid review of the past year under Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, as Attorney General, I must say, this is wrong; we cannot continue on this path.

“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 held fully accountable,” Ajulo added.

The AG noted that the individuals involved have continued to refuse cooperation with authorities and have frustrated the efforts of the current Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

“Arakunrin Akeredolu, whom I knew, would never have allowed state funds to be exploited like this,” Ajulo remarked regarding those illegally holding on to the properties.

He emphasized that the recovery of these properties was necessary to ensure accountability, due process, and the effective use of public resources for the benefit of all citizens of Ondo State.
