Four persons jailed in Osun for selling School Uniforms cheaper than Aregbesola's Price

By Amuda Emmanuel

For producing Osun State School uniforms
and selling at N1,000 per pupil instead of
N1,800 the ones being produced by the
"Omoluabi Garment Factory" under the
management of Sam and Sarah of Lagos,
an Osogbo Chief magistrate court presided
over by Mr. Adebayo Lasisi, on Friday
ordered four persons including a company
to be remanded in Ilesha prison custody.

The charge sheet reads in part: "That you
Abdulkareem Saheed (35), Olatunji
Saheed (35), Ismaila Akinlosotu (49),
Japhlet Banudai Vincent (50) and Cotzyn
Nigeria Limited Plot "A" Block IX Ilupeju
Industrial Estate of Lagos State on same
date, time and place at the said
aforementioned did knowingly make,
distribute and sell infringed copies of Osun
public school uniform without any licence
or authority from Omoluabi Garment
Factory under the management of Sam
and Sarah."

Learnt Governor Rauf Aregbesola's wife is in
charge of the centralised production and
sale of the uniform, and to make sure that
parents in Osun State keep paying
N1,800, four people who made the uniform
and were selling it for N1,000 are now in
Ilesha prison!
