Governor of Ogun, Dapo Abiodun, has suspended his Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Special Duties, Abidemi Rufai, who was recently arrested in New York over N350,000 involvement in unemployment benefits fraud.





In the statement, which was recently released, it stated that Governor Dapo Abiodun considered his aide involvement in the scam case as “disturbing.”


The statement reads: “


“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 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.”
