An Ogun State High Court sitting in Ijebu Ode on Wednesday dismissed an ex-parte application filed by Wale Adedayo, the suspended Chairman of Ijebu East Local Government asking the court to stop further investigations by councilors of Ijebu East LG probing him on allegations of financial mismanagement.
Recall that councillors of the Ijebu East Legislative Council recently suspended Wale Adedayo in continuation of investigations over alleged financial mismanagement and ordered his vice to take over pending the conclusion of the investigation.
On Tuesday in its ruling on the ex-parte motion argued by counsel to the plaintiff, Barrister O.T. Are, standing in for Adeyinka Kotoye SAN, on behalf of Adedayo, the presiding judge, Justice Ayodele Omoniyi, dismissed the application in “its entirety”.
The judge said, “delay defeats equity.”
The claimant was ordered to put the defendants on notice and come back for the hearing of the originating summons on September 22, 2023.
