A petition letter dated Wednesday, November

28th, 2018, signed by the group’s Chairman, Comrade Adeniyi, Alimi Sulaiman and addressed to the Acting Chairman of the EFCC through its Ibadan Zonal Head Office, titled “Report of Acquiring Wealth through

Illegall Means and Suspicious Corrupt Practices Against Mr. Ajibola Bashiru, the former Commissioner for Special Duties and Regional Integration and immediate past Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice.

The group threatened that more revelations about how Aregbesola’s aides defrauded the State during their eight years tenure of office would soon be revealed.
