The Osun State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to asset recovery, with the Asset Recovery Committee commencing the retrieval of state assets allegedly taken away by top officials of the previous administration. The committee, led by the Secretary to the State Government, Hon. Teslim Igbalaye, began field operations after complying with due process.
In February 2024, the state government inaugurated a special Asset Recovery Task Force to reclaim government project vehicles and other assets taken by officials of the previous administration.
The task force was mandated to ensure immediate recovery of the assets.
During a press conference in March 2024, Hon. Teslim Igbalaye reiterated the government’s commitment to recovering properties believed to have been misappropriated by political appointees of the former Adegboyega Oyetola administration. He stressed that the task force was not intended to target individuals but to recover all misappropriated assets.
As part of its efforts, the task force visited the residence of the immediate past Osun Amotekun Field Commander, Comrade Amitolu Shittu, in July 2024, recovering three vehicles illegally possessed by him. The operation was conducted following legal protocols and was intended to recover these assets for the benefit of the state.
The government’s actions are part of a broader commitment to accountability and good governance, which the state administration remains dedicated to upholding
