The governor of Oyo state, Engr. Seyi Makinde on Thursday recovered 14 vehicles allegedly taken away by officials of the former governor Abiola Ajimobi led administration.

Makinde had earlier given ultimatum to the officials of the last administration to return all the government properties with them but failed to abide by the directives until after the expiration of the ultimatum.

The former Governor Abiola Ajimobi and aides were recently alleged of emptying the state transport pool, a development the former helmsman accused Makinde of pursuing a ‘mundane issue’ in the face of tasking governance ahead.

The Chief Press Secretary to Makinde, Mr. Taiwo Adisa confirmed the recovered vehicles to newsmen on Thursday.

Adisa said 13 of the recovered vehicles had been vandalised while only one was in good condition.

He said, some of the vehicles were retrieved from mechanics while others were recovered from some residences, and one abandoned close to Agodi government house.

Adisa added that - investigation is still on to ascertain those vehicles bought in the last one year and which are still missing. 

He, however, maintained that, there is no record of payment for those either purchased or boarded by the said officials; saying, they can be accused of car theft especially if any of them are in custody of a vehicle without receipt of purchase.
