Rabbi Bennett, a native of Delta State and female staffer of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) attached to Ife North Local Government Area, Ipetumodu, Osun State, has been remanded for alleged illegal sale of free mosquito nets.
The Osun State Police Command informed on Tuesday in a press release signed by PPRO Abiodun Ojelabi that police received information on 9 June 2026 about an incident involving the alleged illegal sale of government-owned mosquito nets meant for public distribution.
According to police, nemesis caught up with Bennet when she engaged in a fight with a motorcycle rider in Ipetumodu, Opeyemi Ajibola, over the proceeds realised from the unlawful sales. This led to some witnesses hinting the police of the crime.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that one Rabbi Bennett ‘F’, a native of Delta State and a staff of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) attached to Ife North Local Government Area, Ipetumodu, reportedly engaged in a dispute with one Opeyemi Ajibola (M), an Okada rider of Ayetoro Street, Ipetumodu, over proceeds realised from the unlawful sale of mosquito nets.
“Further investigation established that the suspects, in collaboration with one Aminu Ibrahim (M), allegedly sold six (6) bundles containing three hundred (300) pieces of mosquito nets on 8th June 2026. The mosquito nets were originally meant to be distributed free of charge to members of the public as directed under the government health intervention programme.
“Following the incident, the three suspects were arrested and taken into custody for interrogation. During investigation, they confessed to their involvement in the alleged offence.
“The case has since been charged to court, and all suspects have been remanded at the Correctional Centre pending further judicial proceedings,” police said in the release.
The command reiterated its commitment to safeguarding public resources and ensuring that individuals entrusted with public welfare programmes are held accountable under the law.
