It was gathered by Hobnob News reports that the impeached Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo, was on Monday arraigned before a Federal High Court sitting in Oke Mosan, Abeokuta.
He was docked alongside two other officers of the state Assembly, Dayo Samuel and Adeyemo Adedeji.
Apparently, they were arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over alleged misappropriation of N2.5 billion.
Oluomo allegedly committed the fraud while serving as the Speaker of the Assembly in 2022.
Well, aside from the N2.5 billion fraud case, 18 out of 26 lawmakers signed for his impeachment over allegations bordering on high-handedness, gross misconduct, arrogance, poor leadership style, lack of focus and transparency, and pitching members against themselves.
This former Speaker has vowed to fight back as he told journalists that he had instituted a legal battle against the members of the Assembly.
On Monday, shortly after the trio entered the dock, the court discovered that the counsel to the EFCC was absent.
However, the Judge Justice O.O Okeke adjourned the case to 29th February and 1st of March.
