DailyDatesNigeria recalls how the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested Rufai at the John F Kennedy International Airport in New York for alleged involvement in $350,000 unemployment fraud.

Expressing the Governor’s stand, Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin, in a statement said the news of his aide’s involvement in fraud is disturbing.

The statement read: “We received the very disturbing news of the arrest of one of the governor’s political appointees, Mr Abidemi Rufai in New York over alleged unemployment benefits and fraud in the United States, this morning.

“While the Governor cannot be held responsible for the actions of a full-grown adult, especially outside the jurisdiction of Ogun and Nigeria, he has since suspended the suspect from office to enable him to answer the charges levelled against him.

“The Governor wishes to condemn any act capable of undermining his determination to institute an open, transparent, accountable, and morally upright behaviour in the State and in governance.

“Gov. Abiodun remains committed to his agenda of building our future together and will not condone criminals either in his government or the state in general.”
