A lady very close to Governor Ayodele Peter Fayose’s aide has allegedly stolen about 75 million naira from the Government House, Ado-Ekiti.

However, the allegation has been denied by the governor’s Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka. Insiders squealed that: “Despite denials by government officials that the mistress did not steal N75million, we can tell you that some domestic staff in the Government House, including a steward, cook and gardener, are in police custody.”

“The governor’s personal assistant on Domestic Matters, Sunday Omosilade, was demoted over the matter. The Afao-born PA narrowly escaped being sacked. He was redeployed to the office of the wife of the governor as a lesser officer. With this, more facts have emerged about the stolen N75 million. The money was actually in British Pound Sterling.”

“The total amount was £1,100,000. Of this amount, £150,000 equivalent of N90 million was stolen by the woman together with a steward, cook and gardener. Of this amount, the woman made away with £125,000 equivalent of N75 million, leaving the balance of £25,000 for the steward, gardener and others to share amounting to N15,000,000.”

“It was part of this £25,000 that was later found, hidden in a flower bed in the garden of the chalet where she stayed. It was the steward who was caught at a bureau de change where he was trying to change his own share to naira.”

“When he was nabbed, the steward took security operatives to where the balance was kept. He also mentioned all those involved in the deal who are in police custody. The young lady in question has reportedly relocated.”

“The senior Government House official ordered her house and those of her parents to be vandalised by thugs. The poor parents said they don’t know the whereabouts of their daughter and that the last they heard about her through her friends was that she had relocated outside the country.”
