COURT STRIKES OUT SUITS AGAINST BABALAKIN , OTHERS

Justice J.I. Essien of the National Industrial Court on Tuesday struck out two suits challenging the “purported” removal of the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos, Prof. Toyin Ogundipe.

This was after the formal withdrawal of two suits filed in relation to controversy in the university.

One of the suits was filed by Ogundipe to challenge his removal by Governing Council then under the chairmanship of the now-suspended Pro-Chancellor, Dr Wale Babalakin (SAN).

The other was filed by the Senate of the university to challenge Ogundipe’s removal and his replacement with Prof. Theophilus Soyombo by the governing council.

While Messrs Tayo Oyetibo (SAN) and Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN) applied for the withdrawal of Ogundipe’s suit; Prof. Taiwo Osipitan (SAN) applied for the withdrawal of the suit filed by the Senate.

There was no objection to the withdrawal of both suits by Mr Tola Oshobi (SAN) who represented Babalakin in both cases.
