BREAKING: Ogun Assembly’s Mace Reportedly Missing—-Mace of the Ogun State House of Assembly has been reported missing.
The mace which is the staff of the Legislative arm and which it derives authority has been stolen to prevent the House from sitting . Sources said that over 16 members of the House have signed to impeach the embattled Speaker, Olakunle Oluomo. Oluomo was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) last week on allegations of corruption.
The Speaker unilaterally jacked up a 70 Billion Naira loan approved by the House to 100 Billion. The Governor , Dapo Abiodun, who is the beneficiary of this unconstitutional and criminal act has been doing everything humanly possible to protect Oluomo. Sources say the Governor had tried to plead with members of the House not to impeach the Speaker. The members, majority of whom were denied second term tickets by Abiodun, have vowed to teach the Governor a political lesson. Accusing fingers have been pointed in the direction of the Governor for the missing Mace.
Oluomo has also been charged with stealing 2.4 Billion Naira from the covers of the Assembly. He has however been granted bail but remanded in the EFCC custody pending the time he meets the bail conditions.
