“I have been given an administrative bail. I will go back to their office on Monday,” Oluomo said.
The speaker asked that the commission charge the assembly to court over the allegation.
FIJ learned that prior to the speaker’s detention on Thursday, the assembly filed complaints against the anti-graft organisation and its former deputy speaker, Oludare Kadiri.
