The Oyo State High Court presided over by Justice Ladiran Akintola, on Thursday, has dismissed the suit filed by the State Deputy Governor, Rauf Olaniyan, to stop the House of Assembly from removing him from office.
Justice Akintola, held that the impeachment move initiated by the lawmakers had not violated the constitution in any way.
The lawmakers had last week directed the Chief Judge of the state to constitute a seven-man panel to investigate the allegations of financial recklessness, insubordination and other offences leveled against the deputy governor.
Recall that, the House of Assembly had initiated impeachment moved against Olaniyan following his defection from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress.
The lawmakers had in June moved against Olaniyan with 23 of them signing the impeachment notice.
The House in a letter read by the clerk accused the deputy governor of financial recklessness, gross misconduct, and insubordination among other allegations.
Olaniyan had also filed his response to the allegations against him by the lawmaker and he later approached the court to stop the plans to remove him from office.
