The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Olakunle Oluomo, speaker of Ogun state house of assembly.
He was reportedly picked up at about 9:15am after he failed to honour several invitations from the agency to appear to answer questions on the allegations.

He was said to have been taken to the Lagos office office of the anti-graft agency for questioning over alleged financial crimes, after allegedly failing to honour invitations of the commission.
Oluomo was at the airport to board a flight out of the country.
The anti-graft agency’s arrest of Oluomo is not unconnected with several allegations of misappropriation of state funds and other financial crimes.
A source at the Commission who confirmed the arrest of the Ogun Speaker said he was trailed to the International airport on a tip off and picked up before he could board the flight.
After his arrest, Oluomo was whisked off to the Ikoyi office of the anti-graft agency where he is currently ongoing interrogation.
The spokesman of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, could not be reached for comments before going to press as calls and text messages to his phone were not responded to.
