The 19 All Progressives Congress
(APC) lawmakers in the state have vowed to impeach Fayose after accusing him of
gross misconduct.
The governor and his deputy,
Kolapo Olusola, prayed the court for an interim order to stop he impeachment
notice served on them.
However, the presiding judge,
Justice Ahmed Mohammed, denied the plea and only permitted their
application to serve court documents on the legislators, who are defendants in
the case.
Mohammed also ordered the
defendants, including the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Ayodeji Daramola,
to appear in the court on Thursday, April 16, 2015.
Other defendants in the suit are the
Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba, and the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The impeachment plot, which Fayose
initially dismissed as a joke, has led to chaos in Ekiti after a riot broke out
leaving one person dead.
