The Code of Conduct Bureau in Oyo State has said it is awaiting
directives to verify the declared assets of Governor Seyi Makinde
and those of other officials from the last administration in the
state.
The Director of CCB in the state, Mr. Moses Atolagbe said the
directive to verify all declared assets would come from the bureau
headquarters.
Atolagbe who spoke with reporters on Wednesday noted that there
were a few people in the last administration of the state who were
yet to comply with asset declaration law.
“We have a few people, who have not complied with the position
of the law.
“They are very few in number; some of them are out of the
country and others are based on health ground.
“They have got in touch with the bureau and one of them showed
up on Monday.
“We will just give them a little ample opportunity, when they
don’t comply they would be prosecuted.
“We have done that before, a former commissioner in Oyo State in
time past had been prosecuted for failure to comply,” Atolagbe
said.
The CCB boss in the state further said some newly appointed
public office holders had picked up their asset declaration form
but some were yet to return them.
