Wife of Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State, Florence, was recuperating in their United Kingdom home from a bone operation when the news of her arrest broke, it has been learnt.
Sources close to the Oyo State First Lady said she had just undergone a bone operation by her right shoulder and was placed on rest by her doctor when the news broke of her alleged arrest by the Metropolitan Police for purportedly being in possession of over N500 million in pounds and dollars.
It was learnt that Mrs. Ajimobi was in their Hendon, London home when a call came in from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, informing her of the news break of her arrest in the United Kingdom.
Among those said to be with her when the news broke were the doctor who carried out the operation (names withheld), a top female politician from Nigeria (names withheld) and a few other friends and aides.
It was gathered that the doctor had recommended six weeks of rest for her before returning to Nigeria.
However, as she heard the news at about 9pm, she was advised by the top female politician to head for Nigeria the following day in order to dispel the rumour.
In fact, the initial move, it was learnt, was for her to leave for Nigeria that night.
However, owing to the fact that it was late and the flight could leave before she gets to the airport, she had to wait till the following day.
Though the doctor insisted on Mrs. Ajimobi observing the six weeks rest, she had to take a flight to Nigeria the following day in order for her to be seen in public.
It was gathered that Mrs. Ajimobi has earlier undergone a similar operation to correct a defect on her left shoulder.
