Ogun Assembly Speaker arrested at Lagos airport

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo at the Muritala Muhammad Airport, Lagos State.

It was gathered that Oluomo was arrested over allegations bordering on financial crimes.

A staff member at the assembly who pleaded anonymity said the speaker was picked up this morning at the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, by operatives following a tip-off.

He was reportedly invited several times by the EFCC, but he reportedly refused to honour the invitations.

The Speaker has been taken to the EFCC’s Lagos office for further questioning.
EFCC is expected to issue a statement on the arrest later in the day.
