Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly, Hon. Kunle Oluomo has been impeached.

Thelagostimes gathered that his impeachment may not be unconnected to the many allegations against him.

Eighteen of the 26 members of State Assembly reportedly voted for Oluomo’s impeachment at plenary session on Tuesday.

The Assembly immediately elected a member, Oludaisi Elemide, as the new Speaker.

The House later adjourned plenary for two weeks, with the new speaker in possession of the maze, the symbol of authority of the House.

Recall that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had on September 6, 2022, arraigned Oluomo before a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos over an alleged N2.475bn money laundering.

Oluomo was arraigned alongside three others: Oladapo Samuel, Adeyemo Taiwo, and Adeyanju Nimota Amoke (now at large) on 11 counts of conspiracy, forgery, stealing, and money laundering preferred against them by the EFCC.
