EFCC Investigation into Lagos Assembly Speaker’s Alleged Fraud
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is urged to probe Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Lagos State House Speaker, following allegations of financial misconduct and abuse of office. The petition by Ikeja’s Progressive Youth Movement accuses him of using proxy companies for fund embezzlement, breaching procurement rules. Source
Additional accusations involve a N469 million contract awarded to Orgnitek Consult Limited and unauthorized spending of N200 million on an event that should cost far less. These allegations, however, have been dismissed by Obasa as politically motivated nonsense. Should public officials be held to stricter scrutiny, especially pre-elections? Share your thoughts!
