Attorney General of Ogun State resigns over corruption in govt

The Attorney General of Ogun State and Commissioner for Justice, Akingbolahan Adeniran, has resigned from Governor Dapo Abiodun’s government.

There are widespread rumours that Adeniran resigned his appointment due to alleged “massive corruption” under the present administration in Ogun State.

DAILY POST learnt that the Attorney General turned in his resignation letter on November 8, but the state government has remained silent since the letter was received.

The Ogun Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Waheed Odusile, when contacted on Monday evening denied the resignation of the Attorney General.

When asked if Adeniran had truly resigned, Odusile replied that, “It is not true.”

However, Adeniran, who did not reply several calls and messages sent to him earlier, confirmed later that he has resigned his appointment.

Though the outgoing appointee did not give any reason for his decision, he said it was not as a result of “massive corruption” in the government.
