Commotion As 18 Members Impeach Speaker (Video)

18 members of the Ogun state House of Assembly have impeached the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Olakunle Oluomo.

GWG.ng gathered that Oluomo’s opponent at the last speakership election, Hon. Oludaisi Elemide has been announced as the new speaker.

Oluomo was impeached for alleged embezzlement of funds, highhandedness and related offences.

Recall that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had on September 6, 2022, arraigned Oluomo before a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos over an alleged N2.475bn money laundering.

Oluomo was arraigned alongside three others: Oladapo Samuel, Adeyemo Taiwo, and Adeyanju Nimota Amoke (now at large) on 11 counts of conspiracy, forgery, stealing, and money laundering preferred against them by the EFCC.

The EFCC’s prosecution counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN) had told the court that the defendants committed the alleged offences between 2019 and 2022.

He said that the incident took place in Ogun State. Oyedepo told the court that they stole the sum of N2.475bn from the treasury of the Ogun State House of Assembly. Oluomo was, however, granted bail while the trial continues.
