Impeached Ogun speaker, 2 others docked over ‘N2,5bn fraud’

The impeached speaker of the Ogun state house of assembly, Rt. Hon Olakunle Oluomo, along with two other principal officers of the assembly are facing trial over a N2.5 billion fund allegedly misappropriated under his watch.

The trio were docked before the Federal High Court sitting in Oke Mosan, Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital on Monday.

Oluomo and the duo were dragged before the court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on the financial fraud the allegedly committed while in office.

Shortly after the trio entered the dock, the court discovered that the Counsel to the anti-graft agency could not make it to court. 

The Judge, O.O Okeke, however, adjourned the case to February 29 and March 1, 2024.
