Senator Adelere Adeyemi Oriolowo representing Osun West Senatorial District has threatened to drag the Osun State government to court over allegations of his involvement in illegal carting away of government property.

Oriolowo at a press conference he addressed in Iwo demanded an unreserved apology from the state government over the false accusation.
He said sometimes in December 2022, the media space was saturated with reports authored by an Assets Recovery Committee of the state set up by Governor Ademola Adeleke indicating that he was in custody of 130G Motor Grader (005132-A321),D6 Bulldozer (OS130-A32), Electric Transformer Feeder Board Panel and Soil Compactor Machine (OS137- A32).
