The Osun State Government has revealed that the Asset Recovery Committee has commenced the retrieval of state assets allegedly carted away illegally by top officials of the Adegboyega Oyetola administration. This revelation was made in a statement by Kolapo Alimi, the state Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, on Tuesday.
The statement also disclosed that the Committee, under the Secretary to the State Government, Teslim Igbalaye, began field operations on Monday in compliance with legal requirements and its mandate. The government’s statement follows claims by former Amotekun Osun Field Commander Amitolu Shittu of an invasion of his home by thugs loyal to the state governor, Ademola Adeleke.
'Moreover, the vehicles in question were clearly documented as state property, and there is substantial evidence to support their recovery. Amitolu's challenge to provide documents and his threat to seek legal redress are attempts to obfuscate the clear facts and delay justice.
