Lagos Security Agency Boss, Ajasa, In Alleged Abuse Of Office, Financial Misappropriation


Alleged Financial Misappropriation of the Agency’s Funds
Ajasa, who is said to be nursing a political ambition ahead of 2023 general elections, is also accused of misappropriating the bulk of the funds meant for running cost of departments of the agency.

For instance, the state government is said to provide about N3 million monthly as running cost for departments in the agency, but these departments are said to have been receiving paltry sums from this total.

“That’s not all,” one of the staff members who spoke to Witness said, “When a staff member writes a submission or request for funds and passes it through his office as required by law to the state government, against civil service rule, he removes the name of the staff who wrote the request and put his name as the one making the requests. And when the funds arrive, he diverts to other uses which the fund were not originally meant for.

For instance, N19.6 million was said to have been approved and released by the state government for the drilling of boreholes in the offices of the agency in the 57 local government areas and local council development areas (LCDAs), but no or few boreholes were drilled.

“He is also alleged to have misappropriated funds meant for servicing operational, staff vehicles and other equipment in the agency,” said.
