A former Minister of Works, Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe, was yesterday detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over alleged abuse of office and misappropriation of fund.
The anti-graft agency questioned Ogunlewe at its Iyaganku, Ibadan, Oyo State office.
The politician was asked to react to allegations including abuse of office, corruption and betrayal of public trust as Pro-chancellor of the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta.
Ogunlewe, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, is the current Pro-chancellor of FUNAAB.
The EFCC, it was gathered, acted on a petition written by concerned stakeholders in FUNAAB.
It was alleged that the Pro Chancellor and the Vice Chancellor engaged in an “unbridled corruption and betrayal of public trust”.
