Industrial Court sets aside order on Kwara's ex-Auditor General, Says he concealed material facts, misled Court on 'completed act'

The Industrial Court sitting in Akure, Ondo State capital, has vacated an earlier order restraining the Governor of Kwara State from directing the sacked Auditor General to hand over his office.

In a ruling on Monday on motion on notice filed by the government, the court said Mr. Muyiwa Adeyeye, the sacked Auditor General, had secured the order “through misrepresentation of facts on a completed act”.
