There has been palpable anxiety in the government circles of Nigeria’s Oyo State over the alleged arrest of Mrs. Florence Ajimobi, wife of the governor, in the United Kingdom for alleged money laundering.
Reports on the web and some blogs claimed that the woman was arrested two weeks ago by the London Metropolitan Police on her 52nd trip to the UK since her husband became governor 17 months ago. She was allegedly found to be in possession of 400,000 pounds and thousands of dollars, with a combined value of N500million.
London Met Police has not issued any statement about her alleged arrest. And her name drew blank in a search of the Met Police website by P.M.NEWS.
The unconfirmed reports claimed that Governor Abiola Ajimobi has had to fly to the UK to get her bailed. Mrs. Ajimobi has a North London address in Golders Green and ordinarily visits the UK.
So far, the Oyo state government has kept mute over this story. And the disappearance of Governor Ajimobi from Ibadan, the capital for some two days has further given some ammunition to the purveyors of the news about his wife, styled The First Lady of Oyo state.
Governor Ajimobi was in office today, but bearers of the tale about the wife, have been unrelenting.
Mrs. Ajimobi’s personal staff at Agodi have also not issued denials of any sort.
Miss Yemisi Dada, Special Assistant on Media to Chief Mrs. Ajimobi on a phone interaction at exactly 8:11am claimed that she was not in Ibadan at the time of the telephone conversation adding that she was not aware of such development.
“I cannot talk about that. I am not aware of what you are talking about and besides, I am not in Ibadan right now. Meanwhile, I will find out the correct situation and get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks”.

ReplyDeleteAre you serious? But you will be the first person to catch a petty thief that steals a tuber of yam, beat him to a pulp with a blank plank before putting a tyre around his neck and burning him alive. Who is the bigger criminal and do you now see why Nigeria is in a mess it cannot free itself from because of the warped values of people like you and a lot of the population? God free us from this bondage of ignorance, PLEEAASE!!

ReplyDeleteIf this is true, she must be tried and if found guilty must be sentenced/jailed. Then Govenor Ajimobi must also be removed.

ReplyDeleteat least to be reasonable the Governor's wife visits the UK at least three times in a month and that only sums up to 51 self.
can you imagine even if she had to go there every month she would have gone there 12 times but she broke records ooooooo.... if within 17 months she went 52 times hmmmmm what will happen at the end of the tenure of her husband........ Nigeria we need serious unadulterated prayers.....

ReplyDeleteNa somebody somewhere. dey send the woman on errand,.,we are waiting for the outcome.
ReplyDeleteIf UK's return ticket cost only 150,000 Naira and she made 52 trips, she must has spent 7.8 million Naira on fares alone. What a waste and abuse!
ReplyDeleteWhy do we have too many corrupt leaders? Even women are now worse than men Well this is women emancipation. She should have been in a position to advice her husband over that. I believe her husband must be behind that. But remember this is not an Ibo woman.
