The Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja has pronounced the removal of the re-instated Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, as illegal and unconstitutional.

The court ruled that the plenary session that led to Obasa was null and void.

The judgement was delivered by the court on Wednesday afternoon, maintaining that Obasa remains the only recognised Speaker of the State House of Assembly.

This is coming a few weeks after Obasa remained adamant in pursuing his lawsuit against former Speaker Mojisola Meranda and other lawmakers, despite the intervention of Bola Tinubu.

Obasa had filed a suit against the House of Assembly and the newly appointed Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, challenging the legality of his removal.
