The impeached Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo, alongside two other principal career officers of the Assembly, Dayo Samuel and Adeyemo Adedeji, have been arraigned before a Federal High Court sitting in Oke Mosan, Abeokuta, the capital of the state, presided over by Justice O.O. Okeke.

Oluomo and the officers were dragged before the court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over the alleged misappropriation of 2.5 billion naira in public funds.

He and others allegedly committed financial fraud while he was in office as the Speaker in 2022.

Eighteen out of 26 House members signed for his impeachment over alleged highhandedness, gross misconduct, arrogance, poor leadership style, lack of focus and transparency, and pitching members against themselves.

But he approached the state high court to challenge his removal.

The case has, however, been adjourned to the 29th of February and the 1st of March.
