Suspended Edo Attorney-General Speaks
By Gideon Ayeni
Suspended Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Edo State, Samson Osagie, has strongly denied allegations of financial misconduct leveled against him, insisting he has never been involved in any fraudulent dealings.
In a statement released on Wednesday night, the suspended Attorney-General, Samson Osagie refuted claims that he engaged in financial infractions alongside the Chairman of the Local Government Service Commission, which led to his suspension.
Samson Osagie maintained that he was neither involved in any financial transactions nor given the opportunity to respond to the allegations before he was suspended.
“My attention has just been drawn to a Government special announcement dated 5th February 2025, in which I was alleged to have engaged in financial infractions with the Chairman of the Local Government Service Commission and therefore suspended. Let me state unequivocally that I am not and was never involved in any financial dealing with anyone nor committed any financial infraction of any kind,” he stated.
He further expressed his readiness to defend himself, clear his name, and protect the reputation he has built over the years.
“I shall be ready, willing and prepared to defend myself and prove my innocence in order to clear my name and hard-earned reputation which I have labored to build over the years”.
However, the Edo State Government has yet to provide further details on the allegations against Samson Osagie that led to him being suspended.
