Odetayo resumed yesterday morning amid jubilation by workers, with an injunction ordering that the status quo be maintained pending the time the court would give a verdict on his suspension. The institution had been in crisis, with workers embarking on strike, following the suspension of Dr. Odetayo on July 11, 2023, by the state government on allegations of fund misappropriation. The government appointed Mr. Kehinde Alabi as the acting Rector.
However, Justice O. A. Ogunbowale granted the restraining order, which stopped the Osun State Government and its agent from acting on the matter pending the determination of the suit before it.
