The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission have started investigation into the allegation of
diversion of local government funds leveled against the administration
of Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State.
The EFCC’s Zonal Head, Ibadan,
Akaninyene Ezima, said this in a letter of invitation sent to the Civil
Societies Coalition for the Emancipation of Osun State.
According to the EFCC’s letter of
invitation made available to the press in Osogbo on Sunday by
the Chairman of CSCEOS, Mr. Sulaiman Adeniyi, the anti-corruption agency
invited the group to come and clarify some areas in the petition
against the governor.
The EFCC’s letter, dated May 13, 2016,
with reference No: CR: 3000/EFCC/IB/T.B/VOL.1/79 was titled,
“Investigation Activities: Acknowledgement/Invitation letter.”
The governor and some of his aides were
accused of diverting LG allocations by the human rights group in a
petition to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The group had claimed that the governor
suspended democratic structure in the councils and had mismanaged funds
allocated to them.
