Osun state: Adeleke gives ex government officials a deadline of two days to return stolen property

Former officials have been given a two-day deadline to return any government property they are in possession of by Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke.

Adeleke issued a statement through his spokeswoman, Olawale Rasheed, warning of dire consequences for non-compliance.

“The full weight of the law shall be visited on any former official that refuses to comply with the directive,” quoted Adeleke.

The declaration denounced the high-level theft of government property by the previous administration.

“Several official vehicles are missing; official records indicate that two-third of former state officials left with lots of official cars.

“Most Ministries, Departments and Agencies have been stripped of operational assets like vehicles, computers and even residential fittings.

“Residences of some top officials were equally pillaged even to lamp fittings.

“We have an embarrassing situation here; any former official, who refuses to comply with the directive, will face the full weight of the law,” the statement said.
