Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA), an anti-corruption advocacy group, has said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and not Lagos State House of Assembly, should probe allegations of corruption against Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa.
HEDA expressed lack of confidence in the composition of an ad hoc committee by Lagos State House of Assembly to probe the allegations against Obasa.
The group, in a statement by its Chairman, Olanrewaju Suraju, on Sunday, maintained that the Assembly’s ad hoc committee could not reach a just outcome, as it was allegedly composed of Obasa’s supporters, saying some of the members had already spoken in his defence.
Suraju stressed that the allegations against Obasa were criminal and should be handled by EFCC.
“The Assembly’s ad hoc committee is designed to arrive at a predetermined outcome,” HEDA stated. (Vanguard)
