London Metropolitan Police has confirmed the arrest of Mrs. Florence Ajimobi, wife of Oyo state Governor, over money laundering.
The Met confirmation came this afternoon following an enquiry by P.M.NEWS on the story making the rounds that Mrs. Ajimobi was arrested in London, with the sum of 400,000 pounds and thousands of US dollars, valued at N500million.
The Met simply said ‘Yes’ to our question, seeking confirmation about the arrest.
However, the organization declined to give further information about the matter, citing a UK law.
“I am sorry, we are unable to disclose any information to you under the Data Protection Act,” an officer in the MET Lambeth Office responded.
There was anxiety in the government circles of Nigeria’s Oyo State this morning over the arrest of Mrs. Ajimobi.
Reports on the web and some blogs claimed that the woman was arrested two weeks ago by the London Metropolitan Police on her 52nd trip to the UK since her husband became governor 17 months ago.
hmmm
You will recall that recently all the lawmakers of the oyo state house of assembly including there wives went on jamboree tour to UK and south africa when millions of Nigerians are dying in starvation and abject poverty and this is a state that cannot pay workers minimum wage....is this the change that we voted for in ACN??time will tell
A thorough investigation should be carried out on her and all her accomplice should be made to dance to the music of law.If her husband is involved he should not go unpunished.
