The Ogun State Commissioner for Environment, Abiodun Abdul-Balogun, who was accused of sexual assault in January when he reportedly fondled the breasts of a 16-year-old girl, Barakat Melojuekun, has secretly resigned from office.
The state Attorney-General, Akingbolahan Adeniran, confirmed the commissioner’s resignation to Premium Times, although the case had been put on hold since the embattled commissioner secretly resigned.
Adeniran said, “He has resigned his appointment. He is no longer a state government official. The police have indeed sent the case file, including an affidavit from the victim that she is not willing to testify.

Ijebu-Igbo, the headquarters of Ijebu North Local Government Area of Ogun State, was agog recently as loyalists of the late Senator Buruji Kashamu dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The defectors, who made public declaration at a carnival-like event, said they were highly impressed by Governor Dapo Abiodunâs sterling performance in office and decided to switch camp in furtherance of their unflinching support for his administration.
This latest defection climaxed the series of movement of political heavyweights and power blocs in recent days into the ruling party which, analysts reckon, is likely to fortify and reposition the APC as the most formidable in the race for 2023.
