Court Reinstates Lagos Assembly Clerk Loyal To Obasa
An industrial court in Lagos has ordered the reinstatement of the sacked clerk of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Olalekan Onafeko.
The order was given by Justice M. N. Esowe while ruling on an ex parte motion filed by Onafeso against the Lagos government, Lagos State Civil Service Commission, Lagos State House of Assembly Service Commission, the speaker of the house, attorney general of Lagos and the acting clerk, Ottun Babatunde.
Onafeso, in the suit marked NICN/LA/23/2025, had sought an interim injunction restraining the six defendants from parading any individual, including Babatunde as the clerk, pending the hearing of the motion on notice for interlocutory injunction in the suit.
Esowe granted the application and ordered Mr Babatunde to stop parading himself as the clerk.

“That both parties shall maintain the peace and status quo ante bellum until the motion on notice is heard and determined,” the judge said.

Obasa was impeached over allegations bordering on corruption and abuse of office.
Following the impeachment, Onafeso, who was one of the members loyal to Obasa, was replaced by Mr Ottun as the acting clerk.
