The Lead Counsel for the House of Assembly, Mr. Femi Falana, SAN, informed the court that Obasa’s Lead Counsel, Mr. Afolabi Fashanu, SAN, has served further affidavits.

“The claimant’s counsel served us further affidavits today, challenging my clients to have reaction, Falana stated.

Meranda’s Lead Counsel, Mr. Tayo Oyetibo, SAN, also told the court that the further processes Falana referred to entailed serious fraud allegations against his client.

“There are serious fraud allegations in the further affidavits my learned brother referred to.

“We shall be asking for an adjournment to respond to the new application,” Oyetibo said.

Also, Mr. Olusola Idowu, SAN, announced appearance as an in-coming counsel to represent the House of Assembly.

Thereafter, Falana prayed the court to hear application on the change of counsel.

Falana argued that Court of Appeal decision has mandated a trial court to hear application for change of counsel before any other applications are entertained.

Justice Yetunde Pinheiro however, said that the hearing of all applications and processes before the court would be taken at once.

Pinheiro ordered all parties to file, serve and exchange their processes before the next adjourned date.

“All the applications will be taken at once.

“All applications including those seeking injunction and those challenging jurisdiction will be heard on March 17.

“The application concerning the change of counsel will also be heard at the same time.

The court adjourned the case again for the hearing of the various applications filed by the parties.
