Former Commissioner for Trade, Investment and Cooperative in Oyo State, Kazeem Adedeji, was on Thursday arrested in Ibadan by men of the Special Anti-Fraud Unit, Lagos.
The former commissioner was arrested with his wife, Biodun, at the latter’s office (Enterprise Bank in Agodi, Ibadan).
One of Adedeji’s associates, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the former commissioner was at the bank earlier in the day to visit his wife.
He said, “As soon as he (the husband) left, the wife put across a distress call, informing him that a team of police officers were about to whisk her away from her desk.
“Honourable had to make a detour to know what was really the matter. On getting to the scene, the police team told him they were sent to Ibadan to effect the arrest of the two of them”.
It was gathered that there was a mild drama at the scene of their arrest as the bank manager tried to resist the police on the grounds that the arrest of Adedeji’s wife was effected without prior notice.
The couple were whisked to Iyaganku police station in Ibadan before being driven to Lagos around 1.30pm.
