Odekunle said the public sitting would hold from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the the state High Court at Okefia in Osogbo.

Members of the panel include Mr. Kole Adeyemo, Dr Obi Daramola, Mr Akin Akintayo, Mr Soji Olowolafe, with Mr Kelani Adesina as secretary.
Odekunle said the exercise was not for witch-hunt but to seek clarifications on how public funds for major contracts were used.
