Reactions have trailed the arrest of the Speaker, Ogun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Olakunle Oluomo.
Recall that ADULAWONEWS had earlier reported that the lawmaker was arrested on Thursday morning by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
It was gathered that Oluomo was arrested at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.
Sources in the know told Vanguard that the politician was taken to the office of the anti-graft agency to answer questions bordering on alleged financial crimes.
An official of the commission, who spoke on anonymity 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.
However, some netizens have taken to the micro-blogging platform, Twitter to express their reactions to the development.
