Kunle Oluomo
Ogun State House of Assembly has impeached Speaker Kunle Oluomo and quickly replaced him with Oludaisi Elemide as new Speaker.
The impeachment at plenary session on Tuesday was effected by 18 out of the 26-member Assembly.
Oluomo was impeached for alleged embezzlement of funds, highhandedness and related offences and had been arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In his maiden speech after his installation as speaker, Elemide asked for calm among member.
He said that the impeachment was not targeted against the governor of the state Dapo Abiodun as was being speculated in some quarters.
The Assembly would later adjourn for two weeks, with the new speaker in possession of the mace.
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.
