The Lawmaker representing Akoko Northeast state constituency in the Ondo state house of Assembly, Honourable Rasheed Elegbeleye has given some fresh insight into the N4.3 Billion reportedly kept in secret by the late Dr. Olusegun Agagu led government of Ondo.

Elegbeleye, who is a member of the Public Account Committee of the house in an exclusive interview with Nigerian cable news online on Thursday said the money, kept in a Zenith Bank account was unravelled by his committee during its investigations.

The lawmaker said the Mimiko led administration had no knowledge of the money because there was no proper handing-over from the Agagu government after the court sack in 2009.
