On Tuesday, some media houses (not Nigerian Bulletin) has published reports claiming that Kabiru was arrested with N178million. He was said to have been en-route UAE when he was arrested.

A statement by Semiu Okanlawon, the director of bureau of communications,Osun says there is no truth in the reports.

Read full denial below:

It has become pertinent to inform Nigerians and others generally that there is no iota of truth in the story being peddled around by some misguided elements claiming that a son of Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun, Kabir Aregbesola, was arrested at the Muritala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos today Tuesday May 12, 2015, with a huge sum of money in foreign currencies.

We have discovered the authors of the wicked and malicious lie are doggedly pursuing their agenda by engaging in an aggressive push for the falsehood to reach a larger population especially using the social media. The younger Aregbesola neither travelled anywhere nor had any encounter with any security personnel today.

It is obvious the evil minds at work are out to drag an innocent young man’s name into this dirt in order to get at his father. Aregbesola has maintained a life of a moderate family man with a set of highly disciplined children who cannot be found wanting on issues of morals and societal values Members of the public are therefore urged to dismiss the falsehood because it is just another handiwork of mischievous minds.
