EXCLUSIVE: Court to debate Olaniyan’s interim order Tuesday 

Mouthpiece NGR reports that the Oyo State High Court will next week Tuesday debate the interim order restraining Oyo Assembly from further impeachment process against Oyo Deputy Governor, Rauf Olaniyan. 

Olaniyan was represented in court by his counsel, Chief Afolabi Fashanu, SAN, in the case which came up before Justice Ladiran Akintola at the Oyo State High Court, Ring Road, Ibadan, on Tuesday.

The judge ordered that the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Adebo Ogundoyin, and the Clerk of the House be put on notice before he adjourned the matter to Wednesday.

Recall that the lawmakers had, two weeks ago, initiated an impeachment move against Olaniyan.

The House in a letter read by the clerk, accused the deputy governor of financial recklessness, gross misconduct, and insubordination among other allegations following his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress.

MOUTHPIECE NGR gathered that Olaniyan had last week Wednesday filled his response to the allegations against him. 

In his response, he requested for a detailed information on the 5-count charge leveled against him. 

Our correspondent reliably gathered that the legal team of the House will appear before the High court on Tuesday to overrule the interim order restraining the impeachment process. 

Speaking with our correspondent, a source privy to information disclosed that a 7-man Judiciary committee will be set up to investigate the allegations leveled against him before further action.
