Oyo State Deputy Governor, Engineer Rauf Olaniyan, including two commissioners in the state, has been denied access into the venue of the 8th day Fidau prayer for the deceased, Late Senator Abiola Ajimobi.
Ajimobi, who is the former Governor of the state died in Lagos on the 25, June and was buried last Sunday, 27, June 2020.
Confirming this report, Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Deputy Governor, Omolere Omoetan, said a delegation of Oyo State government led by Olaniyan, Barristers Abiodun Abdul-Raheem and Seun Ashamu, commissioners for land and energy respectively were turned back from entering the Oluyole residence of Ajimobi, venue of the 8th day Fidau prayer for the deceased.
“Very correct. He was not allowed in. Security details at the gate said,” Madam is with the key to the gate,” he said.
It was gathered that security men at the venue prevented them from entering the venue, which almost turned into an argument with security men attached to Olaniyan.
However, the Deputy Governor, Abdul-Raheem, and Ashamu left the venue after much effort to gain access into the venue failed.
Recall that both the state government led by Makinde and Ajimobi’s family had been at loggerheads since the demise of Makinde’s predecessor.
