The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Tuesday arraigned the Speaker of Ondo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Bamidele Oloyelogun, in court over allegations of fraud.
Speaker Bamidele Oloyelogun arrived at the court at about 8.00am on Tuesday to answer to the charges. However, the trial did not hold because of the absence of counsel to commission.

The appearance of the Speaker At the court stalled legislative activities on the floor of the legislature. House members stepped down all matters in solidarity with the Speaker.
