Olakunle Oluomo, Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, has been detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Oluomo was detained on suspicion of offenses that would have been considered financial crimes.

The Speaker was taken into custody by the EFCC early on September 1, 2022, at the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Ikeja, Lagos State.

It was discovered that the Speaker was being interrogated while under the agency's care.

He was alleged to have been on the commission's wanted list after declining the EFCC's invitation on multiple occasions.

He and a few others were charged with falsifying assembly members' signatures and financial records.

The Lagos zonal office spokesperson, Ayo Oyewole, refused to answer the calls, making it impossible to obtain confirmation from the EFCC.
