The members of the Ogun State House of Assembly who had been invited for questioning by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for questioning have said they would not honour the invitation because of a suit they had filed against the Commission. The EFCC had written to the Ogun Assembly requesting for information on all budget appropriations and allocations of the House from May 30, 2015, till date. The commission also asked the Clerk of the Assembly, the speaker, and members of the House to appear before it on separate dates. As of the time of this report, only Mr Kadiri had appeared before the agency. In an interview he granted journalists last November, Mr Kadiri alleged that his signature was forged to swindle the state assembly of about N50 million.
