Former Ogun State House of Assembly Speaker Olakunle Oluomo, along with two key assembly officers, Dayo Samuel and Adeyemo Adedeji, appeared before a Federal High Court in Oke Mosan, Abeokuta. The court, presided over by Justice O.O Okeke, is hearing charges brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) alleging the misappropriation of public funds amounting to N2.5 billion.
The accused, including Oluomo, are accused of financial fraud during his tenure as the speaker in 2022. Following alleged highhandedness, gross misconduct, arrogance, poor leadership style, lack of focus, and transparency, 18 out of 26 house members reportedly signed for Oluomo’s impeachment. However, he contested his removal in the state high court.
During the recent court proceedings, it was noted that the counsel for the anti-graft agency was absent. Consequently, the case has been adjourned to February 29th and March 1st.
