The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has invited the Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Bamidele Oloyeloogun, following allegation of financial misappropriation in the Assembly. The spokesman for the Lagos office of the EFCC, Ayo Oyewole, confirmed the invitation of the speaker to The PUNCH. When asked, Oyewole simply said, “Yes , the Ondo Speaker was invited to our office.”It was gathered that the speaker was almost detained at the EFCC office as he reportedly declined to take pictures in the office which was said to be part of the procedure in office after he had attended to all other processes. A source said Oloyeloogun refused to take pictures as he insisted that his lawyers must give advice before he could do such a thing. According to the source the speaker was later released and allowed to go back to Ondo State on Friday.
