There were reports that a contractor handling some projects in the Ondo state House of Assembly, Mr.Obayoriju Jimoh Abass was assaulted by a member of the Assembly, Hon. Ayo Arowele, representing Owo State constituency at a meeting.

This allegation was denied and proved false speaking, sources said the said there was a meeting summoned by the tender's committee.
 
The committee invited contractor working for the house,  to discus on the progress of there various projects. It was discovered that the Mr  Obayoriju had taken his job with no level of seriousness 

Eyewitnesses said that the Contractor (Mr Obayoriju) who got the job worth #14.4m and had been mobilized with #7.2m was escorted out of the house premises by the security men on duty, and not thugs.

During the meeting our source made known that Abass acted in an unruly manner and he was asked by members of the committee to apologies and he refused. The chief whip who is the chairman of the committee asked Mr Obayoriju to apologise to the sitting members of the committee. 

The contractor was said to have stormed out of the meeting, but later returned to rain abuses on the Chief Whip. At this point was when the security of the House of Assembly took charge of the situation.

It was however gathered that Obayoriju is interested in Hon. Arowele seat which may be connected to his actions.

When the case was reported to the speaker of the House, she in turn reported the case to the Commissioner of Police, saying "Obayoriju have been declared wanted for fraud and with this he is expected to account for what is expected of him over the contract awarded to him"

In a swift reaction, Arowele, who confirmed that the contractor appeared at the floor of House, described the allegation of his molestation as a blatant lie targeted at destroying his image.

He noted that no amount of lies would derail him, adding that, "it is sad that people have to be mischievous. The allegations leveled against me is nothing but a lie, also coming from a great liar"
