We Didn’t Arrest Aregbesola’s Son For Money Laundering —customs by Nayok(op): 10:13pm On Jun 04, 2015
We didn’t arrest Aregbesola’s son for money laundering —Customs

The Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos Command of the Nigerian Customs Service has said that it did not arrest the son of Osun State governor, Kabiru Aregbesola, for alleged money laundering on May 12, 2105, as widely alleged by some persons in the media.
The media reports had stated that the governor’s son was on his way to the United Arab Emirates aboard an Emirates Airlines when he was allegedly nabbed with a huge amount of money.
But the Acting Public Relations Officer, MMIA Command, NCS, Mr Victor Ogagbo, told newsmen at the airport, on Thursday, that the report was false.
Ogagbo explained that some people made inquiries regarding the said “arrest”, saying he had told them that the governor’s son was not arrested by the command anywhere at the Lagos airport.
“The report is false. We did not arrest him. People made inquiry that period and we told them it was false,” Ogagbo said.
Osun State Government had also since refuted the claims.
In a statement by the Director, Bureau of Communication & Strategy, Office of the Governor, Mr Semiu Okanlawon, the government maintained that Kabiru neither travelled nor detained by security agencies for money laundering.
The statement had read, “It has become pertinent to inform Nigerians and others generally that there is no iota of truth in the story being peddled around by some misguided elements, claiming that a son of Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun, Kabir Aregbesola, was arrested at the Muritala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos with a huge sum of money in foreign currencies.
“The younger Aregbesola neither travelled anywhere nor had any encounter with any security personnel. It is obvious the evil minds at work are out to drag an innocent young man’s name into this dirt in order to get at his father.”
