Ogun State government yesterday denied allegation that it deliberately blocked the road leading to the venue of the inauguration lecture organised for the in-coming governor, Dapo Abiodun and his deputy, Noimot Salako-Oyedele.

The government, in a statement by the Special Adviser to Governor Ibikunle Amosun on Information and Strategy, Rotimi Durojaiye, also urged members of the public to disregard a statement credited to the State Police Command’s Spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, claiming that some people were planning to disrupt the inauguration of Abiodun.

The government described the allegations as “unsavoury” and a “figment of the imagination of the mischief-makers.”
