Fred Itua, Chief Press Secretary to Governor Monday Okpebholo in a statement on Tuesday said all assets acquired or used by Omobayo in the course of public service remain state property and must be returned upon leaving office.

“The continued retention of such property constitutes a clear breach of public trust and unlawful possession of state assets.
“The Edo State Government reiterates that all assets acquired or utilised in the course of public service remain the property of the State and must be duly returned upon cessation of office.
“The continued retention of such property by any individual constitutes a clear breach of public trust and an unlawful possession of state assets.
“Accordingly, Mr Omobayo is hereby given a period of seven days from the date of this release to comply fully by returning all government property under his custody to the Office of the Secretary to the State Government.”
Itua noted that failure to comply within the stipulated period would compel the government to direct the Commissioner of Police, Edo State Command, to effect his arrest and ensure the immediate recovery of all state assets still in his possession through lawful means.
He added, “The Edo State Government remains committed to accountability, due process, and the protection of public property.
“No individual, regardless of former position or political affiliation, will be permitted to unlawfully appropriate or retain assets belonging to the people of Edo State.”
