Disqualified UI'SRC member, Nice Linus has on Friday written to the Students Representative Council to notify it of a court order granting her temporary reinstatement as a member of the 12th assembly.
The letter dated Friday, 28th of March, 2025, and addressed to The Students Representative Council through its clerk had attached copies of the court order.
"Sequel to the internal memorandum dated March 4, 2025, addressed to the Speaker of the 11th Assembly, only shown to me, I was prevented from performing my democratic duties as a duly elected honourable member of the 12th Assembly by the then speaker, who removed me from the 12th Assembly’s official group," the letter read in part.
"Similarly, I was disallowed from partaking in the inauguration ceremony, even assaulted at the venue."
"With no adequate response coming from the Students' Representative Council, Executive Council and the management, I was left with no other option but to seek legal redress. I filed an ex parte application on March 12, wherein I sought for five reliefs, amongst them, an order quashing the decision of the Deputy Registrar as contained in the internal memorandum, as well as an order that leave granted to apply for the reliefs sought by me should act as stay of proceedings, suspending the decision of the School management until the case is heard and determined," the letter continued.
Nice had, at the conclusion of the March 1, 2025 Student Representative Council elections, returned elected as the majority leader of Obafemi Awolowo hall before she was disqualified by the deputy registrar, Mr T.I Musa, who was also the chairman of the Students Union Electoral Commission.
Recall that Indy press had on Thursday reported that The Federal High Court, Ibadan granted an ex-parte application suspending the disqualification of Nice Linus as a member and majority leader of the Students' Representative Council, University of Ibadan, until the completion of the court hearing on the matter.
The order also stated that the leave granted by the court would serve as an injunction, putting the University of Ibadan's decision, as contained in the March 4 internal memo which orders Nice's disqualification, on hold pending the determination of the motion on notice to be filed.
Consequently, Nice Linus is temporarily reinstated by the court order until the court case filed is determined.
