Ondo Assembly shuns court order, bars reinstated lawmakers from House
The lawmakers, who arrived at the main gate of the state legislature, were prevented from gaining entrance by security men allegedly on the order of the Speaker of the Assembly, Bamidele Oloyeloogun.
The Court of Appeal sitting in Akure, the state capital had on Wednesday dismissed a stay of execution filed by the state House of Assembly challenging the judgement of the High Court reinstating the three lawmakers.
Following their suspension, the lawmakers proceeded to an Akure High Court where they obtained a judgment after Justice Ademola Bola described their suspension as illegal, null and void and of no effect. Speaking on the development yesterday, Ogundeji said the Assembly leadership had involved in contempt of the court as it ordered the security of the Assembly to bar them from going into the Assembly complex to perform their legislative duties despite having a court judgement.
