OGUN State governor's wife Olufunsho Amosun has denied media claims that she was recently arrested in London over suspicion of money laundering by British immigration authorities.
Over the last few days, several media outlets reported that Olufunsho, the wife of Governor Ibikunle Amosun was apprehended while in the UK. In an emphatic rebuttal, however, Mrs Amosun described the stories as false tales that were spread by those bent on destroying her image.
Speaking in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital yesterday, Mrs Amosun said she had never engaged in money laundering or any such crime and would never do any such thing. She spoke at an event in Abeokuta, where she donated milk to mothers on behalf of Hadjiya Aisha Buhari, the president's wife.
Mr Amosun added: “Well, I thank you for that and I am happy that you called it a rumour. I never did anything of that nature but as you can see me to the glory of God, it’s not my portion and it shall never be my portion.
“I believe that you know your governor, His Excellency Senator Ibikunle Amosun, I’m sure you know he’ll never be involved in anything that is associated with money laundering or anything negative like that. So, as you said, it’s a rumour and it shall remain so as it didn’t happen, it hasn’t happened and it shall not happen.”
On the donation, she described Hadjiya Buhari as a woman of passion who decided to send across Frisomum, a nutritional milk for mothers. She explained that the milk would assist mothers in breastfeeding their babies adequately as it would serve as ideal nutrition for expectant and nursing mothers.
According to Mrs Amosun, the wife of the president sent several cartons of the milk to all wives of governors across the federation and requested them to deliver them to expectant mothers in their states. It is not clear if the wives of other state governors have distributed their consignments yet.
