Justice O. Akintan-Osadebay of an Ondo State High Court, sitting in Akure, on Tuesday, awarded N200,000 against the embattled Deputy Governor of the state, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, following the failure of his lawyer to appear in Court to argue the motion to stop his impeachment.
Aiyedatiwa had filed a motion in the court restraining the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Olusegun Odusola and the House of Assembly from proceeding with his impeachment pending the hearing and determination of the appeal he filed against the judgement delivered by the Court dismissing his case.
Justice Akintan-Osadebay, however, dismissed the suit, AK/348/2023, Aiyedatiwa filed, noting that it constituted an abuse of judicial process, given the earlier suit which he had filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja over the same impeachment.
