Human rights activist and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mike Ozekhome, has faulted a recent legal opinion by professional colleague, Kunle Adegoke (SAN), over the status of the sacked local government chairmen in Osun State, describing the claims as “legally distorted” and “grossly misleading.”
In a detailed rejoinder made available to journalists on Wednesday, July 2, Ozekhome accused Adegoke of misrepresenting the Court of Appeal’s judgment in Appeal No: CA/AK/270/2022, which has sparked fresh political controversy in the state.
He stressed that the court made it clear that it did not delve into the merits of the alleged reinstatement.
