Despite efforts by Ogun Speaker Kunle Oluomo to avert arrest and investigation of the Ogun State House of Assembly by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), he was eventually arrested on Thursday morning by operatives of the anti-graft commission.

Oluomo, who represents Ifo 1 State Constituency, was picked by the EFCC operatives at the Muritala Muhammad Airport, Lagos State over allegations bordering on corruption and financial impropriety.

There was an uneasy calm among members of the Ogun Assembly over his arrest with some wondering if they may be affected by it.

The Nation learnt that the agency invited Oluomo a few times for questioning but he allegedly did not honour any, a development made the anti-graft agency to place him on its watch radar.

Until his arrest, the Assembly sued the agency in January at the Federal High Court sitting in Abeokuta.

In suit N0.FHC/AB/CS/7/2022 dated 14th January 2022, the Assembly prayed for an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the EFCC from taking further steps, including but not limited to inviting, interrogating, imposing obligations and demanding or requiring the attendance of the plaintiffs/applicants in connection with the criminal allegation made against the speaker and some others by an aggrieved member of the Assembly.
