Just In : Court Stops Oyo Assembly From Impeaching Deputy Governor
The Oyo State High Court presided over by Justice Oladiran Akintola on Wednesday restrained the Oyo state House of Assembly from Impeaching the Deputy governor of the state, Raufu Olaniyan.
This order was given when the case came up at Court 7 of the State High Court, Ring Road, Ibadan.
According to the Court, the status-quo must be maintained pending the hearing of the application for interlocutory injunctions before it.
Recall that the case which came up on Tuesday was adjourned till Wednesday due to the absence of the legal counsel to the Oyo State House of Assembly, the Speaker of the House and Clerk.
However, both parties were present in Court on Wednesday.
Olaniyan had dragged the parties to court to seek an injunction to stop what he described as “faulty process” of his impeachment.
