The Osun Asset Recovery Committee has uncovered 55 more vehicles taken away by former Governor, Gboyega Oyetola’s aides.
The vehicles were valued at N1.5 billion.
The panel’s revelation came just 24 hours after it ordered the former governor, his wife, and other members of his team to return vehicles worth N2.9 billion in their possession.
The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, had shortly after his inauguration on November 27 set up the committee headed by Dr. Bashiru Salami to recover government property, including vehicles from officials of the last administration in the state.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state had however described the state government’s claim as a witch-hunt.
In a statement issued by its Media Director in Osun, Kola Olabisi, the party insisted that the panel’s reports cannot be trusted as they had been prepared before the team’s inauguration.
APC argued that Oyetola and his deputy were entitled to certain privileges under the constitution.
