Adeola's Campaign Vehicles Under EFCC Investigation

Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate for Ogun State, is under investigation following a petition by Adekunle Shomorin to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The petition, dated September 30, 2026, requests an inquiry into 119 vehicles purportedly donated to Adeola's campaign.

Shomorin seeks to verify the ownership, market value, and funding sources for these vehicles, which include buses, an ambulance, and a pickup truck. Adeola acknowledged support from 22 contributors, with businessman Akintunde Armstrong being the largest donor, providing 26 buses.

The petition raises concerns about compliance with the Electoral Act 2026 and the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022, particularly regarding the estimated value of the vehicles, which Shomorin calculated at N28 million each, totaling approximately N728 million. He argues that such contributions may exceed the legal limit of N500 million for political donations.

The EFCC is tasked with determining the vehicles' actual value and legality of the donations.
