The Ogun State High Court 1 sitting in Ijebu Ode and presided over by Justice Catherine Ogunsanya has ruled that the impeachment of a former chairman of Ijebu East, Wale Adedayo, is null and void

Adedayo was impeached from office by seven of the councillors of the local government following a letter he wrote alleging that the Ogun Government was not remitting federal allocation to the local governments in the state.
