An Oyo State high court sitting in Ibadan had on Wednesday restrained the Oyo State House of Assembly from impeaching the Deputy Governor of the state, Engineer Rauf Olaniyan.
The court, presided over by Justice Ladiran Akintola stopped any removal process the State Assembly may want to initiate.
According to the Court, the status-quo must be maintained pending the hearing of the application for interlocutory injunctions before it.
The case which first 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 the Clerk.
Justice Akintola however adjourned the case till next Tuesday, July 5 2022 for the continuation of the hearing.
Engineer Olaniyan had dragged the parties to court to seek an injunction to stop what he described as “faulty process” of his impeachment.
