Justice Akintola ordered that the status quo antem be maintained until the determination of the suit filed against the lawmakers by the embattled deputy governor.
The court adjourned the matter to July 5 to allow the House to file its reply to the claims of the deputy governor.
The House of Assembly dominated by the Peoples Democratic Party had initiated impeachment and moved against Olaniyan following his defection from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress.
The lawmakers had two weeks ago initiated an impeachment move against Olaniyan with 23 of them signing the impeachment notice.
