The Ogun State Commissioner for Environment, Abiodun Abdul-Balogun, who was accused of sexual assault in January when he reportedly fondled the breasts of a 16-year-old girl, Barakat Melojuekun, has secretly resigned from office.
The state Attorney-General, Akingbolahan Adeniran, confirmed the commissioner’s resignation to Premium Times, although the case had been put on hold since the embattled commissioner secretly resigned.
Adeniran said, “He has resigned his appointment. He is no longer a state government official. The police have indeed sent the case file, including an affidavit from the victim that she is not willing to testify.
