The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday interrogated the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly Mudashiru Obasa on allegations of fraud.
Mr Obasa had months ago appeared before the House panel of enquiry on corruption allegations levelled against him.
“He was invited, not arrested. He is responding to questions,” EFCC spokesman Wilson Uwujaren told newsmen.
Obasa had admitted that N80 million as estacode was approved for the training of the wives of 20 lawmakers in Dubai, UAE.
“We gave N4m to each of the participants for air tickets, hotels, feedings and local travel. Air ticket to Dubai alone costs about N2m. Some of these allegations were raised for a crusade to get the Speaker out of office,” he said.
