Ogun State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Akingbolahan Adeniran, has resigned his appointment, Great Achiever Magazine reports.
Giving reasons for his resignation, Adeniran said: “My attention has been drawn to some online news publications purporting to provide reasons for my resignation from the Ogun State Government as the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice.
“While it is true that on 8 November 2021, I formally notified His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun, MFR, the Governor of the State, of my decision to resign from the cabinet, I must state that contrary to the online news publications, my reasons for resigning are purely personal. I am not aware of any “massive corruption” in the Administration and I am indeed very proud of what we have been able to achieve in the administration of justice over the past two years”.
Adeniran said some of the achievements recorded while in office include; “Improved accessibility of justice for the average citizen through the Ogun Public Interest Law Partnership which matches indigent clients with pro bono lawyers.
“Protection of the rights of suspects in detention through regular inspections by duty solicitors engaged under the Police Duty Solicitor Scheme.
“Use of technology to monitor the plight of pre-trial detainees with the Corrections Information Management System and Justice Clock.
“Gradual introduction of forensics into policing.
“Introduction of the Case Management and Scheduling System in conjunction with the Ogun State Judiciary”.
The former Commissioner stated that he assured the governor and all his colleagues in the Executive Council of the State of his continued support, adding that he thoroughly enjoyed working with such an amazing group of administrators, technocrats and experts in various fields of endeavour.
