War Without End; Arisekola’s Family, Ajimobi In Land Tussle
The Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi is not finding it easy. The Governor widely known as the ‘Constituted Authority’ not only lost his bid to return to the National Assembly as a Senator, he also lost the governorship seat, reserved for his candidate, Bayo Adelabu to the PDP’s Seyi Makinde, an ordeal described by many of his supporters as nightmarish.
As if that wasn’t enough, the Oyo helmsman is having a tough battle with the family of late business mogul, Aare Abdulazeez Arisekola Alao who was one of his biggest supporters before his untimely death.
The battle is in connection with a large piece of land where Governor Ajimobi built what he called his ‘retirement house’ in Agodi GRA of Ibadan.
The house is a beautiful edifice which the Governor built as a gift for himself and the house he plans to move in after his exit in office.
Insiders revealed that the house is a stone throw to the Government House and that Governor Ajimobi’s personal belongings has been moved from the State house to the new building.
Largely sitting over 2 acres, the property has become the cause for a big fight between the Governor and the family of the late Arisekola.
The Arisekolas alleged that the property belonged to their father while Governor Ajimobi explained that the property was given to him by the late business mogul.
Some of the children of the late businessman who felt they were not treated well by the Governor after their d father’s demise explained that the Governor did not have the proof that their father gave the land to him before his death.
They alleged that the Governor was trying to use his power to rob them of what truly belonged to them and they threatened to challenge him in court.
A source revealed to papermacheonline that the land in question belonged to a former Governor of the State, Chief Rasheed Ladoja who sold it to Arisekola when he was alive and that there is no strong proof to back Governor Ajimobi’s case that the land was rightly given to him by ‘Aare’ as Arisekola was fondly called during his lifetime.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently arrested prominent businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu, following allegations of fraudulent activities related to a multi-million-naira contract awarded to her company by a South-West state.
Achimugu, who serves as the Chairman of Bluewave Exploration and Production Limited, was detained last weekend after a civil society group filed a petition accusing her of involvement in dubious dealings concerning the contract. She was granted bail the following day but has been instructed to return for further questioning in the coming week.
Beyond her corporate endeavors, Achimugu is well-known in elite circles across Lagos and Abuja. Her social media presence showcases a lavish lifestyle, featuring exotic vacations, exclusive yacht parties, and private jet travels.
This arrest marks a significant challenge for Achimugu, whose business empire and social standing are now under intense public scrutiny. The EFCC’s investigation is ongoing, and the outcome may have far-reaching implications for her career and reputation.
A source hinted that Achimugu was asked by the commission to report back on the 30th of March,2025 for further questioning.
Not really bothered by the investigation, the billionaire days after her arrest launched a 30-day feeding Ramadan programme where she targets the less-privileged.
