One of the five ousted
Bayelsa State local
government area chairmen,
Chief Timipa Orunimighe,
has instituted a N100
million suit before a Bayelsa
State High Court sitting in
Yenagoa, challenging his
purported removal from
office.
Respondents in the suit are
Governor Seriake Dickson;
Speaker of Bayelsa State
House of Assembly, state
Attorney General; Clerk of
the Bayelsa State House of
Assembly; state
Commissioner of Police and
Mr Felix Ayah, who was
sworn-in as his
replacement.
Orunimighe, who was one
of the five council chairmen
removed by the state House
of Assembly on July 26, is
claiming N100 million as
damages against the
defendants for his alleged
unconstitutional removal
from office, arguing that the
House lacked the
constitutional powers to
sack him. He is also asking
the court to reinstate him as
the chairman of the council.
