Osun State Government has insisted that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has no power to freeze the state’s accounts without a court order, saying the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke is being witch-hunted.
Commissioner for Information in Osun State, Mr Kolapo Alimi, claimed that since the local government crisis began in February 2025, the Federal Government had been paying allocations directly to local government chairmen, leaving the Osun State government with no control over the funds.
Meanwhile, the Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Media and Publicity Committee, Mr Adebayo Adedeji, accused the Adeleke administration of corruption, saying its officials should face the EFCC’s investigation instead of pointing accusing fingers at the APC.
They both spoke on Channels Television on Thursday.
