However, it was learnt that Oladimeji had approached a court to challenge his suspension from office.

Oladimeji had on Wednesday dragged the state House of Assembly, the Speaker and the Clerk before the State High Court to restrain them from carrying out any suspension or impeachment against him under any guise.

Reacting to his suspension, the council chairman said the lawmakers’ decision was illegal.
