Bamidele Oleyelogun, the Speaker of Ondo State House of Assembly has stated that he has sufficient proof to clear himself of any shady deal on the alleged N2.4 million seminar fraud being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
This was stated on Saturday by the speaker while addressing newsmen in Akure.
The speaker linked his present ordeal to the impeached deputy speaker, Ogundeji Iroju, whom he said was only chasing shadow with the alleged N2.4m seminar scandal in the Assembly.
He said, on Tuesday, Nov. 30, 2021, it was falsely reported that he was arraigned by an Akure High Court, sitting inside Olokuta Correctional Centre, in Akure, the State capital.
However, he said it was evidently confirmed that no arraignment took place in the Court on the said day, as he was nowhere near the court, while the EFCC counsel was also absent from the Court.
Oleyelogun also insisted that, contrary to media reports, he was never arraigned in court by the EFCC last Tuesday.
He said he had sufficient proof to defend himself against the fraud allegation, and that he would do everything in his power to clear his name of any blemish.
