Justice Ladiran Akintola of the Oyo State High Court yesterday adjourned the impeachment suit against Deputy Governor Rauf Olaniyan till today.
The court gave the adjournment to allow for the claimant’s lawyer to file a reaction to the responses sent by the defendants’ lawyers. It also said the status quo order earlier given on the impeachment proceedings subsists.
While Chief Afolabi Fashanu (SAN) appeared for Olaniyan (claimant), Otunba Kunle Kalejaiye (SAN) led the defendant’s legal team.
Speaker of the House of Assembly, the House itself and the Clerk are the first, second and third defendants in the matter.
The court, after seeking the consent on both lawyers, adjourned till today for hearing of the originating summons and interlocutory injunctions, while adding that the status quo order given earlier subsists.
