Esan noted that the detained civil servants are Oyo State Road Maintenance Agency, top officials.
She alleged that the officials tried to conceal the fraud, which involved the payment of the sum of N4.8 billion to three private companies without delivering the project in 2018.
“OYACA was able to discover this fraud despite concealment by the affected top officials to thwart the investigation exercise,” Esan said
“OYACA makes bold to say that the law is no respecter of persons and everyone who has any form of connection with the matter will be dealt with according to the law,” she said.
