An anonymous source just delivered a file that should end careers in St. Paul before the weekend is out.
Inside are six authenticated Bloomington Police Department incident reports and a 2018 Hennepin County family-court custody evaluation that together expose one of the most grotesque failures of state government in Minnesota history.
Jane Chibuzo Koleosho — currently employed as a Data Modeler / ETL Developer at Minnesota IT Services under Governor Tim Walz — has a documented history of felony-level violence, fraud, and repeated domestic/child-protection contacts spanning 2012–2019.
She was hired and retained by the Walz administration even though any competent background check would have flagged:
• May 13, 2012 – Felony 2nd-degree assault with a dangerous weapon (knife) + domestic assault (Bloomington PD BP12-004777)
• March 18, 2014 – Misdemeanor 5th-degree assault / terroristic threats (BP14-002684)
• August 26, 2019 – Felony financial transaction card fraud (BP19-008449) — still pending when she was hired
While those charges were working their way through the system, Bloomington PD and Hennepin County CPS were called to the same household five separate times between 2012 and 2018 for assaults, child-protection investigations, and welfare checks. Every one was closed as “unfounded” or “non-reportable” while children lived in the middle of it.
A 2018 custody evaluation (Hennepin County Case 27FA171892) describes the Mother’s Day 2012 knife incident in chilling detail: Jane Koleosho, pinned in the kitchen, grabbed a blade and stabbed a family member in the presence of the household head. The evaluator called the children’s exposure “unimaginable trauma” — yet the state later put this same individual in charge of sensitive data for the very agencies that ignored the screams.
This is not one bad apple. It is the entire orchard.
Jane’s husband, Adewale Oladotun Koleosho, ran CareFocus Corporation — a Medicaid-enrolled home-health agency that filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2013 (U.S. Bankruptcy Court Case 13-32591) after years of billing the state while police were documenting violence and neglect at his address.
The children’s biological mother, Tamunosiki Rhoda Koleosho, founded Perfect Home Care Inc. and was charged in 2008 with felony theft for billing Medicaid more than $35,000 for nursing services that never happened (Ramsey County, March 2008). She walked away from the home and the children shortly thereafter, leaving them in the chaos she helped create.
This family didn’t just stumble into the system — they mined it. And the system let them.
DHS, CPS, Bloomington PD, and Hennepin County judges closed file after file while the fraud and violence continued. Then the Walz administration handed one of the perpetrators a six-figure state job with access to the same data systems that have hemorrhaged billions in Feeding Our Future, autism-center fraud, and every other Medicaid scam I’ve been exposing since 2017.
Governor Walz loves to talk about “fair-chance hiring” and “ban the box.” Fine. But there is no law — and there is no excuse — for putting a documented violent felon with an open fraud case in charge of Minnesota’s sensitive data while the children she helped terrorize are still trying to rebuild their lives.
This is what happens when oversight is replaced with ideology and “equity” becomes a synonym for “look the other way.”
Jane Chibuzo Koleosho must resign or be terminated immediately.
Every hire at MN IT Services since 2019 must be re-vetted.
Every dollar this family ever billed Medicaid must be clawed back.
And every official who closed those “unfounded” files while children suffered must answer for it.
To the anonymous source who trusted me with these records:
You are not alone.
Your courage just lit a fuse that reaches all the way to the governor’s office.
The looting stops when the silence ends.
