The former Accountant-General of Oyo State, Mr.
Waidi Olaitan, has been arrested by the Independent and Corrupt
Practices and other Related Offences Commission.
Also in custody of the ICPC are the Auditor-General of the state, Mr. Azeez Adeniji, and the Auditor in the Ministry of Finance, Mr. Tirimisiyu Akinnade.
The former commissioners are being investigated in connection with alleged fraud and internal corruption, particularly on the award contracts and the mismanagement of over N8.2bn excess crude funds that accrued to the state.
The three men arrived the Abuja headquarters of the anti-graft commission on Thursday afternoon as part of ongoing investigations into allegations of corruption against top aides of the immediate past administration in the state.
Five commissioners of the Alao-Akala were arrested last Tuesday in response to petitions against them from members of the public in the state.
