The spokesman for the Lagos office of the EFCC, Ayo Oyewole, confirmed the invitation of the speaker, saying “Yes, the Ondo Speaker was invited to our office.”
It was further learnt that Oloyeloogun was almost detained at the anti-graft office as he reportedly declined to take pictures in the office which was said to be part of the procedure in office after he had attended to all other processes.
A source disclosed that the Speaker refused to take pictures as he insisted that his lawyers must give advice before he could do such a thing, adding that it took the intervention of some of the lawmakers that accompanied him to the office of the commission, who were said to have made series of telephone calls, before the matter was resolved.
The Speaker was later said to have been released and allowed to go back to Ondo State on Friday.
