Obasa To Be Arrested Upon Return To Nigeria, To Face EFCC Probe Over Alleged ₦43.5 Billion FraudPublished on 16 January 2025 at 4:52 PMBy Enioluwa Adeniyi

Mudashiru Obasa Is Not A Lawyer - Supreme Court Record Says
The embattled former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, is set to face intense scrutiny from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following his impeachment on Monday over allegations of misappropriating ₦43.5 billion in state funds.
Sources within the anti-graft agency revealed to Peoples Gazette that Obasa, who was impeached after a damning report by the platform exposed his lavish spending on luxury back-up vehicles, is expected to be arrested upon his return to Nigeria from the United States.

An EFCC insider, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, “The evidence against him is overwhelming. This time, he won’t be able to wriggle out. The case has been meticulously compiled, and we are ready to take action.”

Obasa, who had previously faced an EFCC probe in 2020 for allegedly spending ₦1.1 billion within a week, was cleared without charges. However, this time, officials believe his chances of escaping prosecution are slim.

“Heavy hammer is waiting to fall on him,” the source added, emphasizing the agency’s resolve to ensure accountability.

The once-powerful speaker appears to have lost the backing of influential allies, including President Bola Tinubu.

Naija News learnt that sources close to the Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, disclosed that Obasa’s calls have gone unanswered, signaling deliberate isolation from the Presidency.

“His political connections have dried up. He’s on his own now,” said a source familiar with the situation.

With his impeachment and pending EFCC investigation, Obasa’s political future hangs in the balance. Questions remain about whether he will return to Nigeria to assume a lesser role as a floor member in the House of Assembly or continue to evade scrutiny.

The EFCC has assured that there will be no disruptions in its plans to apprehend Obasa upon his arrival.

“We have no political interference at all. He will clarify things to our detectives,” an EFCC source stated confidently.

Since he lost his dad last year May, I know he's a goner....his dad was then Tinubu intimate Friend.... the small boy has been enjoying the influence of his dad since, well, political age of 52 years might not be small.

Plenty wahala for brother Obasa...

More like a planned script. You don't tell who you want to arrest before being arrested. Why is there publicity before it happened?

Lagos is GONE. If a mere speaker can embezzle N43.5B, you can imagine how much the following have embezzled:
- Emilokan
- Babatunde Fashole
- Babajide Sanwuole
- Ambode
- GAC
- Other thieves.

The end of his little empire...

It's a subtle warning to him not to set his foot in Nigeria.

Since he declared intention to contest for Lagos Governorship in 2027, he lost the Aso Rock occupiers.

We all know that Seyi Tinubu is the next Governor of Lagos State. There's nothing anybody can do about it. If anyone dare contest against him, the Obasa treatment awaits
