The Lagos State High Court in Ikeja has declared the removal of Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly illegal, unconstitutional, and of no legal effect.
Delivering judgment on Wednesday, the court nullified all legislative proceedings and resolutions made on January 13, 2025, the day Obasa was controversially ousted from office and replaced by Hon. Mojisola Meranda.
Justice [Insert Judge’s Name] ruled that the removal process violated constitutional provisions and due legislative process, rendering it null and void.
Obasa had filed a legal challenge against the House and Meranda, seeking the court’s intervention to reverse what he described as an unlawful removal. The ruling has effectively reinstated him as Speaker of the House.
Further details of the judgment and reactions from the parties involved are expected to emerge.
