Oyo State Governor Makinde Probed Over ₦30 Billion Misappropriation

Governor Makinde of Oyo State is facing scrutiny by the EFCC over the alleged misappropriation of ₦30 billion released by the federal government for compensating victims of the Bodija explosion in Ibadan. The investigation was triggered by discrepancies in the reported utilization of the funds, with former Governor Ayodele Fayose also being involved in the controversy.

The Oyo State government clarified that it received ₦30 billion, not ₦50 billion as claimed, and stated that the remaining funds were untouched pending release. Concerns have been raised regarding transparency and accountability in managing the allocated funds.
