Return govt property or face the law, Ondo govt warns residents

The Ondo State Government has warned individuals with government property in their possession to return them or face the wrath of law.

According to the government, there is a high number of its properties in the hands of private individuals one year after the death of the former governor of the state, Rotimi Akeredolu.

The state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Kayode Ajulo, in a statement on Friday, asked those in possession of the government’s property unlawfully to return them immediately.

Ajulo said anyone who failed to return the assets would be made to face the wrath of the law.

The statement read, “One year after the untimely passing of former Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, a significant portion of the state’s assets had been unlawfully transferred into private hands. This is unacceptable.

“As the chief law officer of the state, I must ensure that Ondo State operates within the framework of our constitution and laws. Our law enforcement and regulatory agencies must be fully accountable.”

Ajulo also expressed concern over attempts to withhold crucial information from Aiyedatiwa, warning that efforts to silence inquiries through blackmail and baseless accusations against the governor and some of his commissioners would not be tolerated.
