Let me explain what is at play here -
In Ladoja’s case the Supreme Court upheld Chief Olanipekun’s argument that the HOA complex is a designated building and that D Rovans Hotel, Ibadan is not the House of Assembly of Oyo State thereby voiding Ladoja’s impeachment
BREAKING NEWS
DEMOLITION of Rivers State House of Assembly Complex ONGOING
The Demolition of the Rivers State House of Assembly is ongoing. The Reasons for the demolition are yet to be revealed but it may not be far from the recent crisis that rocked the House of Assembly

The quality of legal reasoning from the judiciary in the early years of the 4th republic was astonishing.
