An Ondo State High Court, sitting in Akure, has struck out a suit instituted by Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, for lack of jurisdiction and abuse of court

Aiyedatiwa had approached the court to stop the House of Assembly from impeaching him for alleged gross misconduct.

The assembly contended that the suit constituted an abuse of court processes, saying a similar suit was also filed in Abuja by the deputy governor.Delivery judgment, Justice O. Akintan-Osadebay declined jurisdiction to avoid conflicting verdict between Ondo High Court and Abuja Federal High Court. Aiyedatiwa, yesterday, filed an appeal against the ruling of the Akure High Court, which earlier struck out the suit challenge his impeachment proceedings by the House of Assembly.

He said the judge was wrong to hold that the case constituted an abuse of court processes, as the parties and the subject matter of the case in Akure were different from those of the case in Abuja.
