Court refuses to reinstate Mimiko’s sacked deputy
A Federal High Court in Lagos has struck out a fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by a former Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Alhaji Ali Olanusi, to challenge his impeachment.
Justice Mohammed Idris, in a judgment on Thursday, held that Olanusi’s suit was an abuse of court processes, noting that the reliefs being sought were same as those in an earlier suit marked Ak/51/2015 still pending before an Ondo State High Court in Akure.
“The issues of the fundamental rights of the applicant were raised in that suit as in this suit. This cannot be allowed.
