A civil society group, Upline Centre for Development, has instituted a legal action against Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Bamidele Oleyelogun, and the state’s Commissioner for Finance, Wale Akinterinwa, over their failure to respond to a Freedom of Information request on the discovered N4.3billion allegedly kept in a bank account for 10 years.The state government had in 2020 announced the discovery of N4.3billion secretly kept in a bank account for 10 years.
Donald Ojogo, Commissioner for Information, had said the account domiciled in a third-generation bank was uncovered by the Commissioner for Finance. The group subsequently wrote the Speaker and commissioner to provide “evidence of appropriation of the money for spending by government and report of the committee set up by the House of Assembly to investigate the expenditure of the principal sum of N4.3billion domiciled at Zenith Bank”.
