An Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan, yesterday, dismissed a suit filed by Deputy Governor of the state, Rauf Olaniyan, over move by the state House of Assembly to impeach him.

The trial judge, Ladiran Akintola, ruled that the originating summon filed by the claimant was purely legislative and not judicial in line with the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria .

“There is nowhere that the Speaker is involved as an initiative, but an administrative. The issues raised by the claimant against the defendants are resolved against the claimant. MEANWHILE, Olaniyan had through his counsel, Afolabi Fashanu , jointly sued the state House of Assembly; the Speaker, Mr. Adebo Ogundoyin, and the Clerk over the impeachment process initiated against him.

The claimant’s counsel argued that an impeachment was a process and all the items listed in the constitution should be strictly followed.
