A viral video showed a CCTV camera capturing a vehicle belonging to Akinterinwa campaign organisation stealing fuel at a filling station in Ondo town.
Government sources said the probe was to find out authenticity of the video and probably prosecute the persons involved.
But the Wale Akinterinwa Campaign Organisation (WACO) said the viral video was a plot to blackmail Akinterinwa and members of his campaign team.

“The latest attempt to blackmail our team has not come to us as a surprise in any way. Having exhausted all their weapons and wicked machinations, the desperate politicians have now resorted to use blackmail as their weapon of attack.
“Meanwhile, determined to get the root of the blackmail effort and to put the records straight, Hon Wale Akinterinwa has directed his lawyers to write the management of the filling station to confirm the authenticity of the video and the identity of the purported member of his convoy who allegedly refused to pay for the fuel he was served,” he said.>>>READ FULL ARTICLE>>>
