An Abuja Federal High Court, on Tuesday, stopped the Ondo State House of Assembly from impeaching the Deputy Governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, over allegations of gross misconduct.
Lucky Aiyedatiwa was amongst other allegations, accused of approving the sum of N300m for the purchase of an armoured SUV car for his personal use, from the funds of fuel subsidy palliatives allocated to Ondo state by the Federal Government.
The judge, Justice Nwite, also restrained Governor Rotimi Akeredolu from nominating a new deputy governor and forwarding same to the state house of assembly for approval, pending the determination of the substantive suit.
Justice Nwite, who granted all the reliefs sought by Lucky Aiyedatiwa adjourned the matter until October 9 for hearing.
