Court Wades In On Attempts To Impeach Oyo Deputy Gov | DETAILS

The High Court sitting in Oyo on Wednesday restrained the state House of Assembly from removing the state Deputy Governor, Raufu Olaniyan from office.

Justice Oladiran Akintola ordered the Assembly to stop any removal process they may want to initiate until the court decides.

Recall that Olaniyan had recently defected from the ruling PDP to the APC which had led to calls for him to resign or be ready to be impeached.

The Court adjourned the case till Tuesday, July 5, 2022 for continuation of hearing.

This, according to Our Correspondent’s findings, was to allow the Assembly files its reply to that of Olaniyan.

Director of Legal Services, Olabanji represented the Assembly, while Chief Afolabi Fashanu, SAN, led Olaniyan’s legal team.
