The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released on bail the Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo.

Oluomo was released around midnight Friday on the condition that he returns on Monday with both the assembly clerk and the accountant, a source told Premium Times.
The Speaker’s spokesman, Abdulgafar Adeleye said Oluomo got home on Saturday morning.
“I am there as we speak. An unplanned praise and worship was held earlier today by his supporters and the leadership of CAN in Ifo Local Government,” Mr Adeleye said.
The EFCC arrested Oluomo around 9am on Thursday at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos.
He was picked up by the anti-graft agency after failure to honour its invitations to answer questions bordering on alleged financial misappropriation, sources say.
After several invitations from the anti-graft agency to Oluomo, Ogun Assembly filed charges against the EFCC and the former Deputy Speaker, Oludare Kadiri.
The Assembly accused both Kadiri and the agency of connivance to witch-hunt the legislators.
On Thursday, the Chairman of the House Committee on Information in Ogun Assembly, Yusuf Adejojo, said the lawmakers suspended sitting until further notice “due to one reason or the other.”
Adejojo (APC, Abeokuta South I) claimed that the decision to suspend the sitting had been made before the arrest of Oluomo on Thursday morning.
Meanwhile, there was a rumour that the lawmakers suspended their sitting because the Assembly mace (symbol of authority) was with the Speaker.
The EFCC is yet to release a statement explaining the reason for arresting Oluomo.
