Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), have arrested the Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Taiwo Oluomo.

He was reportedly arrested on Thursday at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos.

According to a source, Oluomo has been taken to the Lagos office of the Commission were he is expected to undergo further questioning.

EFCC has been investigating the Assembly under the leadership of Oluomo following alleged financial crimes.

Members of the House were invited for questioning, but Oluomo and few other lawmakers instituted a case against the Commission, challenging its authority to have issued the invitation.

It was reported that former Deputy Speaker, Dare Kadiri, was the only member who honoured the invitation.

The Assembly was accussed of forging documents belonging to a company owned by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Obasanjo Holdings Limited; and another company owned by former Speaker of the House, Sujar Isola Adekunbi; and non existing corporate entities to retire over N700 million meant for the running of the Assembly.
