The Osun State government has formally denied allegations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) regarding the misappropriation of N11 billion. The state claims the freezing of its accounts is a politically motivated effort to disrupt worker palliative payments, attributing the move to influence from opposition political figures. The government maintains that its financial processes are transparent and have received audit awards, dismissing the EFCC’s probe as a persistent witch-hunt aimed at distracting the administration.
