The Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, has received the very disturbing news of the arrest of one of his political appointees, Abidemi Rufai, in New York, United States of America, over alleged unemployment benefits fraud.
In view of the gravity of these allegations, the governor has ordered the immediate suspension of the accused appointee.
A statement signed by Kunle Somorin, chief press secretary to the governor, said that the governor wishes to restate his commitment to an open, transparent, accountable and morally upright administration and will not condone any act bordering on criminality by anyone.
Rufai, a former House of Representatives aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, is accused of using multiple identities of more than 100 Washington residents to steal a huge sum of amount in unemployment benefits from the Washington State Employment Security Department (ESD) last year.
