Speaker of the Ondo State Of Assembly, Bamidele Oleyelogun has announced that four lawmakers who were dismissed have been reinstated.
Speaking on Monday while presiding over the plenary at the legislative chamber of the Assembly complex in Akure, the state capital, the Speaker said the State High Court had earlier dismissed the suspension placed on the four lawmakers but the leadership of the assembly refused to allow them access into the assembly complex.
The Lawmakers were suspended for alleged gross misconduct leveled against them by the Assembly and a triggered impeachment move against the Deputy Governor of the state, Agboola Ajayi.
Not satisfied with their suspension, the three lawmakers approached the state high court, which upturned their suspension.
The court ordered that the lawmakers should be reinstated and also imposed N5 million fine against the Assembly.
In his reaction, the Deputy Speaker, Iroju Ogundeji, described the ruling as justice for humanity, noting that hope is still alive in the country’s judicial system.
