Ogun First Lady denies being arrested for money laundering

Wife of the Ogun State Governor, Mrs Olufunso Amosun on Friday denied ever been arrested or detained anywhere in the world by law enforcement agents for money laundering offence or any crime.

Mrs. Amosun decribed the alleged news of her arrest and detention in the UK making the rounds on the social media as fictitious, falsehood and rumours made up by those who want to tarnish her image.

She made this known during a media session with newsmen in Abeokuta, shortly after distributing free milk and other items to expectant and lactating mothers at the state hospital, Ijaiye.

The items were donated to hundreds of beneficiaries by the First Lady on behalf of the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Hajia Aisha Buhari.

Mrs Amosun and her husband stressed that she and her husband were people of proven integrity and would not engage in money laundering or any negative vices.

“Well, I thank you for that and 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; it shall never be my portion.

“And 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. It didn’t happen, it hasn’t happened and it shall not happen,” she said.
