The Lagos State High Court has adjourned the suit filed by the ousted Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, challenging his impeachment.
Justice Yetunde Pinheiro set March 7, 2025, as the date to hear multiple applications submitted by various counsels involved in the case.
Obasa was removed from office on January 13, 2025, over allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of power.
His impeachment led to the election of Mojisola Meranda as the Speaker of the House.
The defendants in the suit include Speaker Meranda, 34 other lawmakers, and the House of Assembly itself.
