The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has declared that his investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is normal.
This is as he denied the claim that he was detained by the EFCC on Thursday.
According to him, it was normal for the anti-graft body to invite whoever it felt like.
He added too that it was patriotic for him to honour the invitation.
In a statement issued by his media office, Obasa was quoted as saying: “As a good citizen of Nigeria, a public officer and lawmaker, it was just justified that I honour an invitation by an agency trying to find out some answers relating to some questions.
“It is normal for the EFCC to invite whoever it deems should be invited. Honoring the invitation simply shows patriotism.”
The Speaker added that he had returned home and was never detained by the EFCC.
Obasa appeared before the EFCC on Thursday as the agency continued with the investigation of some allegations against his office.
He was at the EFCC office in honour of an invitation sent to him by the agency.
