Olubadan Sues Oyo Governor Ajimobi, 23 Others For Installing 21 Kings by Freekzy(m) : 9:31 am |
The Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Saliu Adetunji, has sued Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State and 23 others for their involvements in the installing of 21 kings in Ibadan on August 27, 2017. Also joined in the suit are: the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, the eight high chiefs who were elevated to kings as well as the baales who were conferred with kingship status.
Besides the monarch’s suit, former Governor Rashidi Ladoja, Abdul Jelil Karimu, among others, have also challenged the legality of the coronation in court. In the suit numbered I/1077/2017, which was filed at the High Court of Justice, Oyo State on September 19, 2017, the Olubadan is claiming that the governor violated the Chiefs Laws CAP 28 of the state in installing the new kings. He argued that Ajimobi did not possess the power and authority to confer anybody with the right to wear a beaded crown and coronet.
One of the representatives of the king, Abiodun Abdu-raheem, told reporters that his client perused sections of the state’s Chiefs Laws to challenge the defendants, adding that the governor did not fulfil the process prescribed by the law before embarking on the review of the Olubadan Chieftaincy Declaration of 1959.
