Over alleged financial crime, operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested the Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo.
Oluomo was arrested around 9am on Thursday at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos..
The leadership of the Commission has kept mum over the arrest but they are expected to issue a statement shortly.
But a source within the Commission admitted that the Ogun State Speaker had been invited by the EFCC several times but failed to honour the invitations.
Oluomo has been taken to the EFCC’s Lagos office for further questioning.
Meanwhile, the Ogun State House of Assembly has remained calm after the arrest of the Speaker by anti-graft operatives.
Although the situation remains calm, the gate leading to the assembly complex remains closed as men of the Nigerian Civil Defence Corps manned the entrance gate.
