Justice Ademola Bola described the suspension as illegal, null and void, noting that the Assembly had no power to suspend any member.

The Ondo State High Court sitting in Akure on Friday reversed the suspension of four members of the state's House of Assembly, who were earlier removed for alleged gross misconduct.

The lawmakers were suspended on July 8, 2020 from the Assembly led by Mr Bamidele Oleyelogun for alleged gross-misconduct and unruly behaviour. Those earlier suspended include the Deputy Speaker, Ogundeji Iroju ; Wale Williams ; Tomide Akinribido ; Favour Tomomowo . Three out of the lawmakers are also members of the All Progressives Congress aside Mr Akinribodo, who is a member of Zenith Labour Party.

The lawmakers are all loyalists of the deputy governor, Mr Agboola Ajayi, and ensured that he was not illegally impeached by the Assembly.
