BREAKING: EFCC Arrests Ogun House Speaker, Oluomo

The Ogun State House of Assembly Speaker, Olakunle Oluomo has been arrested again by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Operatives of the commission arrested Oluomo for the second time in four days over alleged fraudulent activities, Naija News understands.

Recall that the anti-graft agency last Thursday arrested the Ogun Speaker at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos.

The commission on Friday night released Oluomo and asked him to return on Monday.

Oluomo was, however, detained by operatives of EFCC when he returned to their office on Monday.

A source that spoke with Premium Times disclosed that the Ogun Speaker and two other suspects were still in EFCC custody as of 9:43 p.m.

The anti-graft agency on Monday filed an 11-count charge against Oluomo and the Clerk of the House, Adedeji Adeyemo, and the Accountant, Oludayo Samuel.

The EFFC’s Lagos Head of Legal Monitoring Unit, Rotimi Oyedepo, filed the charges against the speaker and the three other defendants before the Federal High Court, Abeokuta, Ogun State.

A further report has it that the fourth suspect, Adeyanju-Nimota Amoke, who is believed to be the former Accountant of the House, is still at large.

The suspects may be arraigned before the court on Tuesday.
