Obasa sues Lagos Assembly over impeachment
Former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has filed a lawsuit before a Lagos High Court demanding for his immediate reinstatement.
Obasa, who was removed from office on January 13, 2025, is challenging the legality of his impeachment.
The lawmaker is amongst other prayers, seeking an order nullifying his removal and restoring him as Speaker.
The suit, filed on Friday named the current Speaker, Lasbat Mojisola Meranda, and the Lagos State House of Assembly as defendants.
Obasa argues in the suit that the January 13 plenary session where he was impeached was not properly convened, making the proceedings unconstitutional.
The court filing cites constitutional provisions and Assembly standing orders to argue that the impeachment was conducted outside legal procedures.
Obasa contends that lawmakers met during a recess without formally reconvening, rendering the decision invalid.
The suit is yet to be assigned to a judge and no date has been fixed for the hearing of the suit.
