Rauf Olaniyan has been relieved of his duty as the Deputy Governor of Oyo State by the state assembly.
This development followed the state Assembly’s adoption of the report of the seven-man panel constituted by the chief judge to investigate allegations of gross misconduct against Olaniyan at its plenary on Monday.
Olaniyan was elected in 2019 on a joint ticket with the current Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde on the platform of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) until his recent defection to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
