Court Bans Oyo Assembly from Impeaching Deputy Gov, Olaniyan

Justice Oladiran Akintola of Oyo State High Court, on Wednesday, banned the state House of Assembly from removing the state Deputy Governor, Raufu Olaniyan from office.

Until the further judicial pronouncement, the Assembly is to stop any removal process they may want to initiate.

Media source reliably gathered that the Assembly is billed to read Olaniyan’s reply to their allegation this morning.

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

It would be recalled that the Deputy governor, Raufu Olaniyan, had earlier defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressive Congress, APC.

Following that, the State Assembly had accused him of some allegations which was projected to lead to his removal as the deputy governor.
