chief judge

The impeachment of Ondo deputy governor, Agboola Ajayi by the House of Assembly has run into a legal brick wall.

Justice Olarenwaju Akeredolu, the chief judge of the state has rejected a request by the House, asking that she set up a seven-man panel to investigate the allegations against Agboola.

She said the impeachment proceeding has skirted some constitutional provisions and can therefore not request for a probe panel.

Speaker Bamidele Oleyelogun had written to the Chief Judge explaining that impeachment notice has been served on Hon Ajayi.
