According to reports, Sanwo-Olu had filed a fundamental right enforcement suit before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of a Federal High Court in Abuja through his lawyer, Darlington Ozurumba. However, the Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Lawal Pedro, clarified that Sanwo-Olu never authorized any lawyer to file the suit on his behalf.
