Justice Yetunde Pinheiro of the Ikeja High Court  has reserved judgment in the suit filed  by the reinstated Speaker of the House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa.

Obasa is challenging the legality of his initial removal as Speaker.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Pinheiro reserved the judgment after hearing  not less than 15 preliminary applications from the respondents.

The judge said the date to deliver the judgment would be communicated to the parties in due course.

The respondents in the suit are some members of the state assembly and former speaker, Mojisola Meranda.

Obasa is challenging the allegations that led to his initial removal as speaker, including fraud, high-handedness, abuse of office and gross misconduct.

At the commencement of hearing yesterday, Prof. Joshua Olatoke (SAN), who represented Obasa, urged the court to assume jurisdiction to hear the matter.

He argued that the house was on recess at the time the lawmakers convened on January 13 without properly notifying either the speaker or the majority leader, who had the authority to reconvene any session during the recess.
