A Federal High Court sitting in Akure, Ondo State, on Tuesday arraigned the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Bamidele Oyelogun, over fraud allegations.
He was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Meanwhile, the trial was stalled following the absence of counsels to the anti-graft agency.
Recall that men of the EFCC had detained the Speaker over petitions regarding his role in an alleged N2.4 million fund mismanagement.
Also invited and detained alongside the Speaker by the EFCC were the lawmaker representing Akoko South West I in the House, Felemu Bankole; the former Clerk of the Assembly, Mr. Bode Adeyelu; and three other staff.
FirstNews gathered that a new date had been fixed by the court to hear the matter.
The legal counsel to the EFCC, Dibang Frederick, said charges against the Speaker would be made available on the adjourned date.
