The Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun has suspended Mr. Abidemi Rufai, one of his aides arrested and arraigned in the United States of America for wire fraud, a spokesman for the Governor confirmed that action was taken against Abidemi Rufai, to allow law takes its course.
“Let the law take its course and let Rafiu answer the charges against him,” the Spokesman said.
Rufai, 42, has run for political office in the past and had been working as a political aide to Governor Dapo Abiodun until his arrest and arraignment which subsequently led to his suspend from office.
