An Osun State High Court sitting
in Osogbo has fixed hearing on the suit filed by Justice Folahanmi Oloyede
against the state House of Assembly for Thursday, September 3, 2015.
Aregbesola
Justice Oloyede had filed a motion
ex-parte asking the court to grant her permission to institute a legal action
against the state lawmakers over their recommendation calling for her sanction
by the National Judicial Commission (NJC).
The judge had sent a petition to
the state assembly making allegations of financial misconducts against the
state governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola and his deputy, Mrs. Grace Titi
Laoye-Tomori.
Besides, the judge called on the
lawmakers to investigate the governor and his deputy which led to the Speaker,
Hon. Najeem Salam to set up an ad-hoc committee.
The committee however gave the
governor a clean bill of health but recommended that Justice Oloyede be
sanctioned for her alleged refusal to back up her allegations with evidence.
But ruling over the application,
the presiding vacation judge, Justice Adeyinka Aderibigbe granted all the five
prayers sought by the applicant and ordered that the 11 respondents listed be
served while adjourning the case till September 3.
Justice Oloyede approached the
court asking that the said recommendations of the ad-hoc committee be quashed
and that their actions be declared illegal, unconstitutional and null and void.
