There is confusion in the Oyo State government following the loss of a sum of N357million while it was being conveyed to some banks in the Ibadan, capital of the state, SaharaReporters can report.

The money was moved out of the Oluyole residence of Governor Abiola Ajimobi and his wife Florence, but those conveying the money had not reached any of their destinations when they were attacked by unknown gunmen, who made away with the money.

SaharaReporters understands that the man who drove the vehicle, an old man known as ‘Baba Obe’, is a trusted hand, as he has been around the Ajimobi family for decades. In fact, he drove Ajimobi’s father, who was once a member of the Old Western Region House of Assembly, for a long time in his lifetime. These days, he drives Ajimobi's last born.

“He was just drafted in to do this,” said a source familiar with the occurrence.

“The money was moved out in a Toyota Hiace bus. They were going to deposit some of it in Access Bank and the other in Heritage Bank, but they were attacked on Ring Road, just before the roundabout where a road leads to Iyaganku and the other to Apata. Everything happened between 7:20am and 7:35am.”

SaharaReporters understands that the man detailed to oversee the movement of the money, simply identified as ‘Semiu’, was wounded during the attack, his head hit with a gun; and that the money was passed on to her by Damola, a personal assistant to the Governor’s wife who is also the daughter of Segun Bolarinwa, Special Adviser to the Governor on Security.

Semiu has since been arrested, especially as the Oyo government hierarchy believe that only an insider could have known that the money was being moved out.

When SaharaReporters contacted Olugbenga Fadeyi, spokesman of the Police in Oyo State, to ask if he was aware of any robbery incident at Ring Road, he said he wasn’t. But he asked for an hour to find out. One hour later, Fadeyi confirmed that no such official report had been made.

“It is possible that there was a robbery but if no official report was made, we won’t know,” he said.

The Oyo State government has been in the news lately for unpleasant reasons relating to shady movement of funds.

In March, part of over N1billion moved out of the State House by Ajimobi between the night of Friday 22 and Saturday 23 was confirmed missing.

Two days later, SaharaReporters reported that Ajimobi suspended Niyi Ajao, his Special Adviser on Information and Communication Technology (ICT), without pay for mismanaging election campaign funds.

Only last week, Godwin Obode, former Special Assistant on Youth and Student Matters to Ajimobi, was arrested by men of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (F-SARS) following his refusal to return the N18.5million he received from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State for the general election but did not spend.

Seriously

This man ruined Oyo State . His leadership didn’t touch the people of Oke Ogun ( that’s Iseyin, saki ,kisi, igbeti)

There is enough marble in Igbeti that the government could tap into , Oyo State is massive I quiet know, the next incoming governor should try to touch if not almost all part of the state but he should try , look at Ibadan , always lively but poor planning and crime run rampant .

I’m Igbo but I feel like I’m related to Oyo State somehow , lol .


The mountains � there though are worth seeing , you fit even they the mountain dey smoke down the whole community, no shaking for that one .

I pray for a better leadership by the new elected government, I’m counting on him .

Why them no kill am.
Looters

This is called last minute LOOTING.

Always watch out for a snitch amongst you.

An insider probably gave those robbers the information about the movement.

That insider might be highly placed,and they don't want the money to go to the bank

Stealing is just an Alibi here.

What then will you believe. Your deafness to reason has reached an alarming high. Sic!

You don't know Ibadan

The only thing the city needs is more industry.

Ibadan being the third most populous city in Nigeria lacks proper job opportunities.

The next government needs to look into that aspect with all seriousness.
