Controversy is deepening around the Ondo State Commissioner for Finance, Omowumi Isaac, after a video surfaced showing her actively supervising a state-funded project — despite recently being under police investigation for serious criminal allegations.
In the footage, obtained by standarddailypress, Isaac is seen at an Eid praying ground renovation site, where she was warmly received and praised by supporters. But rather than reassurance, the moment has triggered public anger and raised difficult questions about priorities and accountability.
For many observers, the issue is not just the project itself — but its timing and relevance.
At a time when residents of Ondo State are grappling with economic hardship, critics argue that such projects appear disconnected from urgent public needs. One insider did not hold back:
“This is the woman recently arrested by police but released by Governor Aiyedatiwa, using Ondo State funds for rubbish.”
The backlash comes shortly after Isaac was invited for questioning by the Nigeria Police Force over a series of grave allegations, including criminal conspiracy, attempted murder, threat to life, assault, and causing grievous bodily harm.
According to official documents, the police — through the Inspector General’s Monitoring Unit — issued a formal summons on April 7, 2026, directing her to appear at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.
The letter stated clearly:
“This office is investigating a case of criminal conspiracy, attempted murder, threat to life, assault and causing grievous bodily harm… in which your name featured prominently.”
The invitation, backed by the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, was meant to compel her cooperation in shedding light on the allegations.
However, the situation took another turn as security sources alleged that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa may have intervened, applying pressure to halt or limit the police interrogation — a claim that has only added to the growing public skepticism.
Now, with the investigation still unresolved and questions lingering, Isaac’s reappearance in an official capacity has intensified scrutiny.
To critics, it signals more than confidence — it suggests a troubling sense of impunity.
No official statement has yet been issued by the Ondo State Government or the Ministry of Finance addressing either the police probe or the controversy surrounding the project.
For many watching closely, the silence is just as loud as the accusations.
And as the video continues to circulate, one question remains at the center of it all:
