An Ondo State High Court sitting in the state capital, Akure, has proclaimed the creation of the 33 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) by the late Lead Representative Oluwarotimi Akeredolu as unlawful.
As indicated by the presiding judge, Justice A.O Adebusuoye, the LCDAs were not legally created.
Akeredolu had in September 2023 inked down the bill establishing the councils into law after it was passed by the state House of Assembly members, after the third reading.
The newly created LCDAs are co-existing with the 18 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the state, bringing the total to 51.
