The Osun State House of Assembly on Friday announced the revocation
of arrest warrant earlier issued against the Late Bola Ige’s son, Muyiwa
Ige, who was a former Commissioner for Lands, Physical Planning and
Urban Development in the state.
The house had on Wednesday announced a
warrant of arrest against Ige, through the state owned radio station,
Osun State Broadcasting Corporation (OSBC), following his refusal to
appear before the committee of the house.
According to a source at the assembly, the former commissioner was
summoned over an alleged illegal allocation of land, located along
Osogbo -Ilobu road while in office.
The house, however, made a u-turn rather expectedly on Friday in a
released signed by the Chairman, House Committee on Information and
Strategy, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye where it informed that all issues had
been resolved while the earlier warrant of arrest was said to have been
revoked.
“Sequel to an earlier statement issued on Wednesday,13th December,
2017, on the above subject, the State of Osun Assembly under the
leadership of the Speaker, Rt. Honourable Najeem Salam wishes to inform
the general public that Arc. Olumuyiwa Ige has appeared before the House
and has stated his part on the issue in contention with the State of
Osun House of Assembly Leadership and Members.
“It is important to clearly state that the former Commissioner for
Land, Physical Planning and Urban Development, Arc. Olumuyiwa Ige, has
cleared the issue with the State House of Assembly.
In his reaction, the former commissioner confirmed the “amicable
resolution of the issue” adding that he was not aware of the earlier
invitation which was said to be announced on the radio.”
