Ogun Assembly reverses self on indictment of ex-speaker for embezzlement, commutes dismissal to resignation
The Ogun State House of Assembly has exonerated its former Speaker, Olakunle Oluomo, of allegations of embezzlement and financial misconduct that formed parts of his removal from office in 2024, saying investigations found no evidence to support the claims.
In the latest development, the lawmakers held that the allegation of embezzlement was not contained in the notice of removal served on the former Speaker and that investigations failed to establish any evidence that he diverted public funds or committed financial misconduct.
The resolution followed the presentation of the Committee of the Whole House report by the Deputy Speaker, Lateefat Ajayi, based on a motion filed by Mr Oluomo before the Assembly on 31 March seeking either his exoneration or evidence to support the allegations against him.
