Press Statement: Aregbesola’s Son Was Not Arrested For Money Laundering

The office of the State Governor of Osun State has denied that one of the Governor’s son, Kabir Aregbesola was arrested at the Muritala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on Tuesday with a huge sum of money as he was about leaving the country. In a press statement released by Semiu Okanlawon, Director, Bureau of Communication & Strategy in Osun State there is no iota of truth in the story and Kabir never neared the airport yesterday. The press statement after the cut.

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 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 travelled 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.
