Oluomo was docked alongside two the Clerk of the House, Adeyemo Adedeji and the Assembly accountant, Dayo Samuel respectively.
The trio, who appeared in court on Monday, were alleged to have misappropriated N2.5bn public funds in 2022.
However, the matter was adjourned by Justice O.O Okeke, till 29th February and March 1 for hearing, because Counsel of EFCC could not make the sitting.
