Recall that Agboola was restricted from leaving his official quarters at the government house on Saturday night by police officers led by Bolaji Salami, commissioner of police.

The deputy governor alongside some of his personal aides were trying to move their properties out of the government house when police stopped them.

While Governor Akeredolu was accused by some of the supporters of Ajayi of giving the orders that the police acted on.

He said it is a normal practice in government for the inventory of offices and residential quarters to be taken before an official leaves such premises.
