‘The Assets Recovery Panel of the Osun State Government has directed former Governor Gboyega Oyetola, his wife, Hajia Kafayat Oyetola and other former appointees to immediately return assorted vehicles valued at N2.9 billion presently illegally in their possession. As at today, there is no law that authorised any elected or appointed officials to go with state vehicles after completing their tenure of office”,the statement reads]
