An Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan, the State capital, on Tuesday restrained the 68 sacked council chairmen and chairmen of Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) from the forceful and illegal takeover of the council offices across the state.

The Court, presided over by Honourable Justice Moshud A.A. Abass, granted the four reliefs sought by the lead counsel to the Oyo State Government, Dr. Akin Onigbinde, SAN, including an order of interim injunction restraining the sacked chairmen from forcefully taking over the Local Government Councils or taking steps capable of causing breach of peace in the State.

The orders of interim injunction, which were granted by the Oyo State High Court followed an ex-parte motion filed by the State Government in Suit No: I/78/2020.

Also restrained were the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN; Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar; Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Command, Mr. Shina Olukolu, and the Oyo State APC chairman, Mr. Akin Oke.

The parties and their agents were restrained from taking any step that could tamper with the pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice.

According to the Court, the sacked chairmen, as well as the four other defendants, their officers, agents, privies or otherwise, were restrained from taking steps that would cause a breach of peace by embarking on self-help to give effect to a letter dated 14th January 2020 with reference number HAGF/OYO/2020/VOL.I/1 issued by the Attorney General of the Federation to the sacked chairmen and the Inspector General of Police pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.

Are you in Oyo State? If not have you updated yourself on the whole matter? You should.
His advisers are in fact amazing and that supreme court you mentioned is currently sick...when the head is sick, some lesser parts(lower courts) are in the position to heal its wounds.

Very good development. At least they will allow GSM to concentrate on his duties.

Nigerian politicians are generally lawless. They only talk about obeying the rule of law when it favors them. Unfortunately, our courts are not helping matters. They grant all sorts of terrible injunctions and reliefs just to frustrate the rule of law from operating smoothly.

Seyi Makinde those council bosses illegally. He should also have reinstated them after the Supreme Court Judgement. However, since he is not interested in doing the right thing, the sacked chairmen and the AGF should have approached the court to get a direct judgement ordering the governor to reinstate the sacked chairmen and not attempt to forcefully take over the council.

Now that the governor has gotten a backdoor injunction against them, they will have no choice than to go back to the court and allow the case to be fully decided.

Going forward, National Assembly should amend the constitution to give FAAC the power to withhold the allocation of any council that is not administered by elected chairmen. That is the only way to stop the governors from interfering illegally with local government councils.

The High Court Judge will personally go and stop the LG Chairman himself. Useless idiot. Is that how Buhari has been disolving State Governments just because he does not like them? Even Ayodele Peter Fayose that went to the Court to beat up a judge, did Buhari remove him because of that? Governors have no constitutional power to sacked elected council Chairmen and Councillors. Any other law to the contrary is a law for the baboons.

After being sacked, council chairmen did not go to court to stop state government but they resorted to propanganda. reason is that there was court order that restrained ajimobi osiec from conducting the election but ajimobi disobeyed the court order. you cannot eat your cake and have it. council chairmen can never win the case. that is the reason why they want to use federal might.

The governor is also guilty in this matter. He should have approached the court to annul the election of the council chairmen instead of sacking them. He lacked the power to sack them. Illegality cannot be corrected with another illegality.

So its only in PDP states your APC government always witch-hunt? The governor has done the right thing by going the court, the local government chairman should also wait and defend themselves in court. that is the right thing to do. Meanwhile, when is the Atorney general going to dissolved the illegal local council development areas in Lagos State abi he he blind and deaf to know that still exists despite that its against the constitution?

Is LCDA recognised under the laws of Oyo State and Nigeria at large? That is a technical knock out against the rampaging APC, expelled chairmen and councillors.

And you are being stupid and ridiculous.

This injunction is as clueless as Makinde himself. Council Chairmen that have resumed and even have police orderlies. This mushroom injuction is just to save face. It can't be enforced.

Ignoramus, LCDAs can be formed by the state assembly which is what the last assembly did so it's perfectly legal. In the high state of cluelessness you're in, you seem to forget that Makinde actually appointed Caretaker chairmen into the same 'illegal' LCDAs. Ask yourself why he'll do that if it's true that the LCDAs are illegal

Unfortunately for you and other enemies of Governor Makinde and Oyo state, those disgruntled elements are not LGA chairmen and councillors. They are fake LCDA chairmen and those LCDA are not recognised by law.

Stop spewing stupidity over the thread. They consist of Original LGA Chairmen and the absolutely legal LCDA chairmen! You can only wail

The LCDAs are null and void. Allocations of government funds are made to LGA as third tier of government not LCDAs.

You're only hoping honestly. If they were illegal, your clueless Governor who can do no wrong won't appoint caretaker chairmen to them. They are perfectly valid. You can only wail and hope.

Makindes will conduct elections for LGAs not LCDAs. We will only recognise LGAs in Oyo State since APC wants to outsmart the government of Makinde. You have left a tactical hole in your plot that Makinde's government can explore to her advantage. Endure the struggle against Makinde.

What struggle Our people have resumed and are fully functional. They'll complete their tenure before your clueless Governor conducts a 'kangaroo' election. Like ALGON chairman said,Makinde should accept the sympathy of ALGON for comprehensively beating his Government even without being in power

If they are valid, why are funds not allocated to them as a tier of government from FAC? Why are they not recognised by RMAFC?
