Federal High Court refuses to restrain Gov. Fayose’s impeachment

Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State and his deputy, Olusola Kolapo, on Wednesday lost their bid to stop moves for their impeachment. A Federal High Court in Abuja rejected their prayers for interim orders restraining House of Assembly Speaker Adewale Omirin and other All Progressives Congress, APC, lawmakers, the Chief Judge, Justice Ayodeji Daramola and others from proceeding with the impeachment plot.

Rather than granting the prayers for interim injunction, Justice Ahmed Mohammed ordered Omirin and other defendants in the suit to appear before the court on April 16 to show why the restraining orders sought against them by the plaintiffs should not be granted. The plaintiffs include Joseph Dele Olugbemi (who claimed to be Speaker), the House of Assembly, Fayose and Kolapo.

“Order is hereby made directing the first to fourth defendants (Omirin, IGP, INEC and Ekiti CJ) to appear before this court on April 16 and show cause why the interim order sought by the plaintiffs via an ex parte motion, dated April 7, should not be made by this court.” Justice Mohammed ordered that hearing notices be served on the defendants and adjourned the matter till April 16.
