An arrest warrant for the immediate past Clerk of the National Assembly, Mohammed Omolori, has been issued by a federal high court in Abuja.
This comes following an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) before the court, alleging that the respondent had disregarded its invitation for him to report to its office after a petition was filed against him.
The anti-graft agency, which is investigating the diversion of 14 Toyota Hilux vehicles and 13 Peugeot 508 valued at over N400 million, has disclosed that it invited the Secretary of the National Assembly Commission, Adamu Fika, Mr Oluseye Ajakaye, and others to its office.
The EFCC noted that the invitees made revelations incriminating Mr Omolori, who refused to honor its invitation on two occasions.
Justice Suleman Belgore, who listened to the EFCC’s counsel S.N. Robert, granted the agency’s sought-after order.
