A Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo, Osun State, has sacked the current set of executives and legislators running the local government areas in the state.

The suit, which was dismissed by the Federal High Court, was instituted by Onibonokuta Saheed, Ayegbayo Gbolahan, Olayera Elugbaju, Adegbite
