The Osun State Governor,\u00a0 Rauf Aregbesola has denied reports that his son was arrested at the airport for suspected money laundering.<\/p>\n

The report which went viral last night claims his son was arrested by custom officials while attempting to travel to Dubai with about N178 million.<\/p>\n

A statement by\u00a0 his spokesman,\u00a0 Semiu Okanlawon, described the report as wicked and malicious<\/p>\n

Full text<\/p>\n

No son of Aregbesola was arrested for money laundering<\/p>\n

It has become pertinent to inform Nigerians and others generally that there is no iota of truth in the story being peddled around by some misguided elements claiming that a son of Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun, Kabir Aregbesola was arrested at the Muritala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos today Tuesday May 12, 2015 with a huge sum of money in foreign currencies.<\/p>\n

We have discovered the the authors of the wicked\u00a0 and malicious lie are doggedly pursuing their agenda by engaging in an aggressive push for the falsehood to reach a larger population especially using the social media.<\/p>\n

The younger Aregbesola neither traveled anywhere nor had any encounter with any security personnel today. It is obvious the evil minds at work are out to drag an innocent young man\u2019s name into this dirt in order to get at his father.<\/p>\n

Obviously, part of the game plans of those behind this orchestrated lie is to whip up sentiments especially among the workers in Osun whose salaries are being delayed as part of the fallout of the national revenue crisis and demonise the governor.<\/p>\n

Aregbesola has maintained a life of a moderate family man with a set of highly disciplined children who cannot be found wanting on issues of morals and societal values<\/p>\n

Members of the public are therefore urged to dismiss the falsehood because it is just another handiwork of mischievous minds.<\/p>\n
