However, at the hearing of the matter before Justice Kola Adegoke of High Court 3, Ilesa Judicial Division, counsel to the State House of Assembly, Barrister Rachael Ojinni, through a letter asked the court to adjourn the suit to either January 23 or January 25. According to Ojinni, who is the Head of Legal Services of the Assembly, she will be attending another important and similar matter at the Federal High Court, Abuja today (January 11). Encheowu stated, “I also raised an objection to this letter because the heading of the letter itself bares ‘State of Osun House of Assembly’. The court should take judicial notice that ‘State of Osun’ has been declared illegal, so, the letter has no relevance here”, he stated. In his ruling, Justice Adegoke who adjourned the case till January 23, maintained that in the interest of justice, all parties must be given a fair hearing on the matter.
