An Edo High Court sitting in Benin, on Friday declared as illegal, the removal of Mr Aremiyan Momoh, as Chairman of Etsako East Local Government Area of Edo State.
The court presided over by Justice D. I. Okungbowa, in suit no: B/205/2019, said Momoh’s removal from office as chairman and his subsequent replacement with his erstwhile vice-chairman, Mrs Benedicta Ebuehi is illegal.
Momoh, it would be recalled, was suspended from office by Governor Godwin Obaseki over alleged corrupt practices in September 2019 and was replaced with Ebuehi, who just last week, marked her one year in office.
Justice Okungbowa, in his judgement, declared the action of the governor as null and void and directed Momoh be reinstated immediately.
