Consequently, the state government has petitioned the police for the recovery of the vehicles.

The Ondo government said Agboola was unlawfully in possession of the vehicles.

The Senior Special Assistant to Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu on Special Duties and Strategy, Dr. Doyin Odebowale, who signed the petition, said he had been mandated to recover all government property still in the possession of former political office holders in the state, especially those who served in the immediate past administration.

Dr. Odebowale said all entreaties to Agboola to return the four vehicles for use of the incumbent deputy governor had been rebuffed.

According to the petition: “We lodge this complaint believing that you will use your good offices to look into this brazen act of conversion, and this is being charitable.

“Any person who keeps/detains the property of another with the intent to deprive the owner, permanently, of the right conferred therefrom, has committed an offence known in law as STEALING.

“This office undertakes to assist the command with regard to the necessary logistics to recover the converted property.”

Agboola had earlier said he was yet to receive any letter asking him to return the vehicles.
