The High court in Iwo presided over by Justice Moshood Adeigbe dismissed Justice Oloyede’s application for lack of jurisdiction. Oloyede had approached the State High Court to challenge the recommendation of Osun House of Assembly, asking the state Judicial Service Commission to recommend to the National Judicial Council that Oloyede should be sanctioned on the account of judicial misconduct. Justice Oloyede had petitioned the House of Assembly, calling for the impeachment of Governor Aregbesola and his Deputy, Grace Laoye-Tomori, over alleged corruption. The judge had in the petition called on the lawmakers to examine and investigate the governor and his deputy over the allegations. On receipt of the petition, the assembly set up an Ad hoc/Fact-finding committee with the speaker, Najeem Salaam giving the committee one week to submit its report. The assembly later considered the report of the panel, and dismissed Oloyede’s petition and recommended sanctions against her. The judge, not satisfied with the decision of the lawmakers filed a motion on notice before the court. Her lawyer, Lekan Ogunlesi, while addressing the court recently on the motion stated that his client was ready to challenge the illegality of the action of the assembly. Ogunlesi had listed the respondents in the motion to include the speaker, the investigating committee chairman, Adegboye Akintunde, six legislators and Clerk of the House. Also joined in the suit is the Osun Judicial Service Commission. Oloyede had also filed a motion ex-parte asking the court to grant her permission to institute a legal action against the state lawmakers over their recommendation that she should be sanctioned by the National Judicial Commission (NJC).]]>
