The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) appears to have uncovered some duplexes numbering about 40 belonging to the embattled Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, according to ThePledge NG.
The duplexes are said to be situated opposite the Lagos State Polytechnic, Ikorodu.
