Obaseki Speaks On Interpol’s Arrest Of Commissioner For Money Laundering

The Edo State Government has finally responded to speculations on the arrest of the state’s Commissioner for Arts, Culture and Tourism, Mr. Osaze Osemwingie-Ero, over alleged money laundering.

The commissioner who has been out of circulation since early November was reportedly arrested in Paris, France on the allegation of money laundering after being found in possession of $2m.

However, government officials have not been able to confirm when the act was committed though a top government official said the deed was done before the advent of the Godwin Obaseki administration.

Obaseki speaking through his Special Advise on Media and Communication Strategy, Mr. Crusoe Osagie, said: “We learnt about the alleged arrest of the Arts, Culture, Tourism and Diaspora Commissioner, Hon. Osaze Osemwingie-Ero from unreliable sources on social media and we are unable to confirm either the alleged arrest or what might have led to it.

“But we can confirm without equivocation that whatever the issues might be, they are totally personal and have nothing whatsoever to do with the Edo State Government or Governor Godwin Obaseki.”
