 The former Managing Director of Ogunstate Property and Investment Corporation, Babachi de Odusolu, has denied the allegation of financial misappropriation levelled against him by the Ogunstate House of Assembly. Odusolu, who denied the allegation during a press conference in Lagos, said the allegation was false in its entirety. Justin Akadoye tells us more. Last week, the Ogunstate House of Assembly, Committee and Public Accounting, Anti-Corruption, asked Odusolu to return the sum of 40 million Naira, which was unaccounted for, during his tenure as the MD of OPEC. The Committee also called on the anti-graft agencies to investigate Odusolu and recover an unaccounted balance of 2.5 billion Naira belonging to the state. Reacting to the allegations by the State House of Assembly, Odusolu said he was taken aback by the media publication and the call for investigations by the anti-corruption agencies, as according to him the allegations are false. I challenge the management of OPEC, I challenge the government of Ogunstate, I challenge the Ousea House of Assembly, if there is any money missing in OPEC, to bring out the evidence. I not only bring out the evidence, but to also show that I, Babajido Odusolu, all by extension, since this is political, clearly, my principal, Senator Brooklyn Amoso, diverted that money. I would like to see the evidence because there is no such evidence. Odusolu said after he provided all the clarification sold by the House, the next day he saw stories in the media that there were infractions against him and that about 3 billion Naira was missing, which he subsequently gave a response to. The former OPEC boss said reading in the pages of newspapers again last Friday made him realize that he was being victimized. So to be told that OPEC expended 40 million Naira, which was not withdrawn by me, which was not paid to me, which was not signed for by me, and OPEC staff expended 40 million Naira on a OPEC project site, which is clear in the records. And then the committee made a quantum leap and decided that the MD must be the one that is responsible that he took the money. A beggar's belief. On the allegation of 881.5 million Naira on budgeted expenditure, he adds that the sum was spent on the construction of mitreous residences on the approval of the State Executive Council. Odo Shulou flanked by his legal team says they will be challenging the procedure adopted by the good State House of Assembly in court. Justin Nakadoni for PLOS TV Africa.
