The court has reversed the suspension of Dare Kadiri, a former deputy speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly
Justice O. A. Onafowokan ruled that the Speaker, Olakunle Oluomo, the House of Assembly and the Clerk of the House had abused their positions of authority, and ordered the state House of Assembly to pay Kadiri any emoluments due promptly.
Recall that the House, in September 2022, suspended Kadiri and one other, Solomon Osho, representing Remo North State Constituency, over allegations bordering on breach of the rights and privileges of the state legislature.
At a plenary presided by the Speaker at the Assembly Complex, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, the House said the lawmakers were suspended in line with the provisions of sections 14 and 15 of the Legislative Houses (Powers and Privileges) Act, 2017.
