Embattled Lagos lawmaker, Mudashiru Obasa, has approached the court to challenge his removal as the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly.
The lawmaker dragged the Assembly and the new Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, before a State High Court in Ikeja.
He claimed that the lawmakers were wrong to have impeached him when the Assembly was on recess.
Obasa was removed as the Lagos Assembly speaker on January 13, 2025, by 36 lawmakers, when he was out of the country.
In a motion through his counsel led by Chief Afolabi Fashanu, SAN, Obasa is asking for an order of the court fixing a date for the expeditious hearing of the originating summons.
In the motion dated February 12, 2025 and filed at the court on Friday, the embattled lawmaker also sought an order of the court abridging the time within which the plaintiff may file its reply of points of law to three days.
Meanwhile, as at the time of filing this report, a date has not been fixed for the suit.
