EFCC Summons Ex-oyo Speaker, 31 Ladoja’s Lawmakers Over N1.5bn Fund by Johnnyessence(m): 11:01pm On Aug 29, 2015
peaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly during the Rasheed Ladoja administration, Mr.Adeolu Adeleke and 31 other members of the assembly at the time have a date with the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).

The commission has invited them to explain what they know about the N1.5billion alleged to be missing from the state coffer s between 2002 and 2007.

Adeleke and one of the affected former legislators who does not want his name in print confirmed EFCC invitation.

EFCC investigators have already visited the state ministries of finance,lands and justice to peruse documents relevant to the matter.

Governor Abiola Ajimobi had claimed that former Governor Ladoja refunded the sum of N500million to the state through the EFCC being part of the alleged stolen money.

The former governor vehemently denied making any such refund only for Ajimobi to publish bromide of cheques purportedly issued by Ladoja for the refund .

The money in question is said to be proceeds from the sale of shares belonging to the state government by the former governor.

The former governor is alleged to have used a company owned by him to buy the shares and thereafter raised the sum of N78million through a prominent commercial bank to acquire a property located at 361 Agodi GRA ,Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

The former governor was also accused of doling out N20million each to 14 lawmakers who were loyal to him for constituency projects.

None of the ex-legislators is known to have spent the money for that purpose.

It was also gathered that apart from the N20m received by the 14 loyal members of the house, Ladoja also allegedly purchased a Nissan Ssunny for each of the lawmakers.

The money was allegedly taken from the proceeds of the shares.

Sources also said that the chairman of an Oyo State government agency during the Ladoja government confessed to EFCC investigators as the one who shared the funds.

When contacted yesterday former Speaker Adeleke described the invitation by the EFCC, eight years after he left office, as politically motivated .

He accused the All Progressive Congress (APC) led government in the state of masterminding EFCC’s fresh investigation into the alleged missing fund.

He said “any invitation that is extended to me by either EFCC or any other body will not be a surprise because rumour had it sometime ago that the APC led government was and is still desperate to circumvent the election petition of Senator Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja having failed to stop him from going to Election Tribunal .

“ I left office as Speaker more than eight years ago ,so common sense dictates that any invitation extended to me by this time is an attempt to distract Senator Rashidi Ladoja from reclaiming his stolen mandate and therefore ,such invitation is politically motivated and is bound to fail.”http://thenationonlineng.net/efcc-summons-ex-oyo-speaker-31-ladojas-lawmakers-over-n1-5bn-fund/

If you can investigate a case of 2002 why can't you investigate OBJ tenure of that same period. And nobody is even talking of Fashola and Amaechi forgery and criminal cases of 2014 with heavy evidence. Ladoja has been a block head to APC and I think this is witch hurting. Buhari is not ready to fight corruption, all I see is selective punishment, pseudo and deceitful system.
