Ondo State Government has petitioned the Nigerian police over the refusal by immediate past Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi accusing him of stealing four vehicles which he used as official vehicles, months after his tenure ended in the state..
According to Senior Special Assistant to Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu on Special Duties and Strategy, Dr. Doyin Odebowale, who signed the petition, the vehicles are: Land Cruiser SUV, New Toyota Hilux, New Toyota Hilux and Toyota Hilux.
The Ondo Government said Agboola is unlawfully in possession of the vehicles.
Dr Odebowale 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.
Dr. Odebowale revealed that all entreaties to Agboola to return the four vehicles for use of the incumbent Deputy Governor have been rebuffed.
According to the petition: “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.”
