The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa has denied reports of being detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Although the lawmaker, appeared before the EFCC on Thursday, but was never detained as been reported by the media.

He confirmed that he was at the EFCC office in honour of an invitation sent him by the agency, as they continue to investigate his office.

“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,” Obasa said in a statement released by his media office.
