....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Ondo State Assembly has requested the dismissal of the lawsuit filed by Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, contending that the suit is flawed because no court has the authority to hear a case attempting to halt an impeachment process at the point when the plaintiff filed the lawsuit…CONTINUE READING

The Assembly’s attorney, Femi Emodamori, argued in his preliminary objection that Aiyedatiwa had not been served with the notice of allegations of gross misconduct when he hurried to the court.
Justice O. Akintan-Osadebay had previously granted permission to the Deputy Governor to serve all documents filed in the lawsuit on the Assembly, the Assembly Speaker, Olamide Oladiji, and the Clerk, Benjamin Jaiyeola.
Justice Osadebey also ordered that all documents filed in the case be delivered to the defendants by posting them on the front side wall/fence or entrance gate or any conspicuous area of the Assembly Complex.
Emodamori pointed out that the appellate court had previously ruled that no court had jurisdiction to entertain any case alleging a breach of fair hearing when the process had not even reached the stage where the Chief Judge establishes the 7-man impeachment panel to hear the allegations of gross misconduct as required by Section 188(5) of the constitution.
