Alleged

Senator Isiaka Abiola Adeyemi Ajimobi

After Ajimobi left office in May 2019, his successor Seyi Makinde formally requested the EFCC and ICPC to probe him over alleged mismanagement of Oyo State funds, and the Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership (CACOL) filed petitions with the same agencies alleging billion-naira embezzlement involving Ajimobi and his wife. Punch reported Makinde writing the EFCC to recover what he characterised as stolen funds from Ajimobi's tenure. Ajimobi died of COVID-19 in June 2020 before any of those petitions matured into charges; no EFCC indictment or court arraignment ever followed. Status: `alleged`.
