The Speaker of the Ogun state House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo has been arrested by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC for alleged financial misappropriation.

Mr Oluomo was said to have been picked up Thursday morning at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos. It was further confirmed that the speaker was picked up to answer questions bordering on alleged financial crimes.

The leadership of the Commission has kept mum over the arrest but they are expected to issue a statement shortly, and our correspondent who visited the state Assembly said the leadership of the Assembly is yet to issue any statement.

However, a source within the Commission admitted that the Ogun State Speaker had been invited by the EFCC several times but failed to honor the invitations. The source added that he has been taken to the EFCC’s Lagos office for further questioning.
