Oyo State House of Assembly has faulted the invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to its members in relation to a purported ongoing investigation.
In a letter, Clerk of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Yetunde Awe, queried the propriety of the EFCC’s invitation to the Assembly members in the face of a pending suit challenging EFCC’s power to probe state Legislature’s finances.
In the letter to the EFCC, Awe warned the commission against disrespecting the court and taking the law into its hands.
She said no member of the state Assembly would honour any invitation from the anti-graft agency until the pending case is determined.
The Oyo State House of Assembly sued the EFCC earlier this year over its planned probe of the Assembly’s finances.
