The Government of the State Of Osun has denied reports that Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s son, Kabir was arrested at the Lagos Airport with undisclosed large amount of foreign currencies.
In a statement issued by Semiu Okanlawon, Director of Communication said there was no iota of truth in the report.
The statement read, “It has become pertinent to inform Nigerians and others generally that there is no iota of truth in the story being peddled around by some misguided elements claiming that a son of Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun, Kabir Aregbesola, was arrested at the Muritala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos today Tuesday May 12, 2015, with a huge sum of money in foreign currencies.
“We have discovered the the authors of the wicked and malicious lie are doggedly pursuing their agenda by engaging in an aggressive push for the falsehood to reach a larger population especially using the social media.
“The younger Aregbesola neither traveled anywhere nor had any encounter with any security personnel today. It is obvious the evil minds at work are out to drag an innocent young man’s name into this dirt in order to get at his father.
“Aregbesola has maintained a life of a moderate family man with a set of highly disciplined children who cannot be found wanting on issues of morals and societal values
“Members of the public are therefore urged to dismiss the falsehood because it is just another handiwork of mischievous minds”.
