Lagos High Court yesterday dethroned Oba Michael Gbadebo Onakoya as the Orijeru of Igboye in Epe Local Government Area.
Justice Iyabo Kasali delivering judgement in a suit filed by representatives of Ewade Ruling House against his nomination, Justice Iyabo Kasali held that he is not from the ruling house and as such could not be nominated on its platform.
In 2008, Justice Habib Abiru?, who is now in the Court of Appeal, in his judgement in a suit filed by representatives of Erelu and Osikadewa Ruling Houses, dethroned the monarch.
In the 105-minute verdict, the judge granted “an order of perpetual injunction restraining? the second defendant from parading himself as a member of Ewade Ruling House of the said Igboye or presenting himself for the stool of Orijeru of Igboye on the platform of Ewade Ruling House”.
The judge also gave an order of perpetual injunction restraining all the other defendants (Onakoya) from recognising the second defendant as a member of Ewade Ruling House of Igboye”.
