Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Mr Olakunle Oluomo.

The leadership of the Commission has kept mum over the arrest but they are expected to issue a statement shortly.

But a source within the Commission admitted that the Ogun State Speaker had been invited by the EFCC several times but failed to honour the invitations.

Oluomo has been taken to the EFCC’s Lagos office for further questioning.

Meanwhile, Newsone Nigeria reports that the Ogun State House of Assembly has remained calm after the arrest of the Speaker by anti-graft operatives.

Although the situation remains calm, the gate leading to the assembly complex remains closed as men of the Nigerian Civil Defence Corps manned the entrance gate.

Similarly, the entrance to the area was restricted as visitors in and outside the complex were turned back.
