Impeachment Saga: Court dismisses Ondo Assembly appeal against Aiyedatiwa after withdrawal

The Abuja Division of the Appeal Court has dismissed an appeal filed by the Ondo House of Assembly against an earlier High Court judgment stopping the impeachment of the State Deputy Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

The dismissal of the suit on Thursday followed the withdrawal of the appeal by the House and the Speaker, Olamide Oladiji.

The appellants had earlier filed the appeal after Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court, Abuja, had, on September 26, restrained the House of Assembly from impeaching Aiyedatiwa over allegations of gross misconduct, pending the determination of a notice of interlocutory injunction.
