Osun State workers have handed governor Rauf Aregbesola a 14 day-ultimatum to pay their outstanding six month salary arrears or face a full blown strike, 24 hours after the governors son was allegedly arrested for attempted money laundering in Lagos.

According to NigerianWatch, civil servants in Osun State have not been paid for six months now, forcing the state chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) to issue the governor with an ultimatum.

This latest development comes at the same time that Governor Aregbesola's son Kabiru was arrested at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos with N178m ($912,820) in cash stocked in his luggage.

Reports say Kabiru Aregbesola was on his way to the United Arab Emirates when he was apprehended after an airport scan revealed the money.

Upon being arrested, Kabiru is said to have called his father who rushed down to Lagos and requested to see the immigration officers that arrested his son.

According to the eyewitnesses, Governor Aregbesola then held a meeting with the officials in a senior officer's office, where the matter was resolved.
