How Amosun, A Notorious Gunrunner Withdrew N7.2b Cash From Ogun Treasury by bolaayenimo: 4:31pm On Dec 21, 2020
Ibikunle Amosun has always seen himself as being above the law, which was why he disregarded decency and caution in handling public safety and finance throughout his eight-year stint as Ogun State governor.

Shortly after he left office as governor in May 2019, Mr. Amosun was exposed as a gunrunner in a series of articles by Premium Times. Over a year and a half later, he has not been brought to justice. Instead, he has remained a close ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, a relationship that has continued to shield him from being brought to book for complicating Nigeria’s perennial insecurity.

No sooner after he assumed office in May 2011 than the Gateway State descended into chaos. Armed robbery, abduction-for-ransom, cultism and political assassinations became rampant across the state.

But as residents were reeling from the disarray which they blamed on the governor’s “ineptitude,” Mr. Amosun was busy inflicting a generational assault on the state’s treasury, according to state financial records reviewed by Peoples Gazette.

The records showed that Mr. Amosun withdrew N900 million in 90 transactions at N10 million each on September 26, 2014.

On September 29, 2014, alone, Mr. Amosun collected N1.2 billion in 120 cash transactions at N10 million each from the state treasury.

The next day on September 30, 2014, Mr. Amosun again withdrew N600 million in cash over 60 transactions at N10 million each.

The transactions were pulled from Ogun State Government Expenditure Account by Taiwo Adeoluwa, Mr. Amosun’s cabinet secretary throughout his two-term tenure. In some other cases, the transactions were carried out on Mr. Amosun’s behalf by Olusegun Olaleye, then permanent secretary of the state’s finance ministry.
