The Ondo State acting governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has directed the immediate freezing of the accounts of local government administrations across the state. Aiyedatiwa made the decision just a few weeks after his boss, Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, appointed caretaker chairmen for 18 local government areas and 33 local council development areas. The order was given in a press statement released from the office of the acting governor which also banned all the chairmen from opening new bank accounts for the councils.
