Legislators in the Ondo State House of Assembly have served an impeachment notice on the state Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi.
In the notice, Ajayi was accused of gross misconduct.
The Deputy Governor dumped the All Progressives Congress and defected to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party but insisted on remaining in office.
In the letter obtained by TheNewsTrack, 14 lawmakers supported the impeachment of the Deputy Governor.
There was heavy security presence at the Ondo State House as the lawmakers were holding plenary.
The lawmakers resumed from recess on June 6th with an advertorial calling on members to resume sitting.
The Deputy Governor had approached an Abuja High Court where he filed seeking to stop the impeachment proceeding and enforced his fundamental right of association.
Other defendants in the suit were the Inspector General of Police, State Commissioner Of Police, Department of State Services (DSS), and the Speaker of the Assembly, Mr David Oleyeloogun.
