Segun Atanda/
Four suspects including a former Council boss in Ondo State are being quizzed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged theft of N60million under their watch.
According to a statement from the Head, Public Affairs at the Ibadan office of EFCC, Mr Ayo Oyewole, the former Chairman of Ifedore Local Government in Ondo State, Mr Akinsola Adu and three of his principal officers were quizzed over an alleged case of stealing and abuse of office.
The suspected officers were named as Taiwo Aladesuyi, Adefisoye Tua Agboola and Dare Alao F.
The statement reads in part: “The former Chairman and his Principal Officers allegedly misappropriated N60million which was released to the Local Government by the Ondo State Government from the Re-investment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P) through the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs. It was alleged that virtually the entire sum was transferred to a personal account.
“However, investigation is still ongoing to establish how the fund was actually disbursed and verify the projects for which it was purportedly released.”
Oyewole said that the suspects would be arraigned in court if, on the conclusion of investigation, a prima-facie case was established against them.
