Rt. Hon. Olakunle Oluomo, the detained speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, has been moved to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, for questioning by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
According to reliable reports, the troubled senator is currently flying to Abuja after being accused of misappropriating and embezzling money.
On Thursday, our correspondent received confirmation of the situation from a reliable source within the anti-graft organisation.
The EFCC apprehended the Ogun Speaker at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, in the early hours of Thursday at about 09:00 am.
The source added that Oluomo had earlier failed to honour official invites by the anti-graft commission.
The EFCC National and South-West spokespersons, Wilson Uwujaren and Dele Oyewale, did not take their calls nor responded to WhatsApp and text messages from our correspondent on Thursday.
A member of the Ogun State House of Assembly representing the ruling All Progressives Congress, who spoke to newsmen on the condition of anonymity, however, confirmed the situation.
He said, “The information you got is correct. Our speaker was arrested by operatives of the EFCC earlier this morning. From what I gathered, he was alleged to have been involved in misappropriation and embezzlement of funds.”
