Controversy trails Aregbesola son’s alleged arrest

Lagos- Despite denial by the government of
Osun State on Wednesday that no son of the
Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola was
arrested at Lagos Airport for money laundering,
a source that refused to be quoted told
Vanguard that the governor’s son, identified
as Kabiru was actually arrested.
The source who doesn't want his name to be mentioned, said
Kabiru was on his way to United Arab Emirate
with over N178million. He also disclosed that
“Kabiru was arrested on Tuesday afternoon at
the departure wing of the Muritala Muhammed
International Airport , Lagos, with the sum of
N178 million Naira in his luggage that was not
declared by him”.
On Wednesday, Osun state governor, Mr Rauf
Aregbesola denied the involvement of any of
his children in money laundering. The
clarification was made by Mr Semiu Okanlawon
Director,Bureau of Communication & Strategy,
Office of the Governor.
Okanlawon’s statement reads in part, “It has
become pertinent to inform Nigerians and
others generally that there is no iota of truth in
the story being peddled around by some
misguided elements claiming that a son of
Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun, Kabir
Aregbesola was arrested at the Muritala
Muhammed International Airport in Lagos
today Tuesday May 12, 2015 with a huge sum of
money in foreign currencies.
“We have discovered the the authors of the
wicked and malicious lie are doggedly pursuing
their agenda by engaging in an aggressive push
for the falsehood to reach a larger population
especially using the social media.
“The younger Aregbesola neither traveled
anywhere nor had any encounter with any
security personnel today.”
