Operatives at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, on Thursday, arrested the Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
He was accused of forging signatures and financial documents of the assembly.
The development disrupted the sitting of the assembly.
Oluomo was said to have been on the wanted in the list of the commission following his failure to honour several invitations sended to him.
The Dornlinsal Global Resources learnt that his refusal to honour the EFCC invitation followed the suit instituted by the assembly against the anti-graft agency in January at the Federal High Court, Abeokuta.
The Dornlinsal Global Resources reports that the house in suit N0: FHC/AB/CS/7/2022, dated January 14, 2022, is seeking an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the EFCC from inviting and interrogating the speaker in connection with the criminal allegation made against him and some others by the members of the assembly.
A worker at the assembly who pleaded anonymity said the speaker was arrested at the Lagos airport by the EFCC operatives following members.
An EFCC source expressed that Oluomo was subsequently flown to Abuja for interrogation.
Attempts to get confirmation from the commission failed as the EFCC National and South-West spokespersons, Mr Wilson Uwujaren and Mr Dele Oyewale, did not response their calls.
