Ondo government drags former Deputy Governor, Ajayi to police over unreturned vehicles

The Ondo State Government has filed a petition against its immediate past Deputy Governor Agboola Ajayi, for reportedly refusing to return his official vehicles.

Ajayi was accused of unlawfully being in possession of a Land Cruiser SUV, New Toyota Hilux, New Toyota Hilux and Toyota Hilux and refusing to return them despite all entreaties

Senior Special Assistant to Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu on Special Duties and Strategy, Dr. Doyin Odebowale in a petition he signed said he has been mandated to recover all government properties still in the possession of former political office holders in the state, especially those who served in the immediate past administration.

The petition reads; “We lodge this complaint believing that you will use your good offices to look into this brazen act of conversion, and this is being charitable. Any person who keeps/detains the property of another with the intent to deprive the owner, permanently, of the usufruct right conferred therefrom, has committed an offence known in law as STEALING. This office undertakes to assist the Command with regard to the necessary logistics to recover the converted properties.”
