The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on Monday Arraigned the impeached Speaker of the Ogun House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo, alongside two other principal career officers of the assembly, Dayo Samuel and Adeyemo Adedeji, before a Federal High Court sitting in Oke Mosan, Abeokuta, the capital of the state.
Oluomo and the duo were dragged before the court over an alleged misappropriation of public funds running into N2.5 billion.
Oluomo was said to have committed this financial fraud while he was the Speaker of the Assembly in 2022.
The presiding judge, Justice Agatha Okeke, however, adjourned the case to February 29 and March 1 over the absence of the Counsel to the anti-graft agency
The EFCC had in September 2022 arrested and later arraigned Oluomo for allegedly diverting N2.5 billion belonging to the Assembly, in suit no: FHC/AB/61C/2022.
The anti graft agency had accused the Speaker and others of forging receipts and signatures to divert billions of naira from the legislative house.
They were thereafter granted bail after pleading not guilty, even as they were asked to submit their travel documents at the court registry.
