Court grants stay of execution to Soun on ascension

 

   Oba Ghandi Olaoye

An Oyo High Court sitting in Ogbomoso has granted an application by the Soun of Ogbomoso Oba Ghandi Olaoye for stay of execution of dissolution of his selection while the determination of appeal is pending.

It was reported that the stool became a subject of legal tussle after Oba Olaoye’s appointment as the Soun was nullified by the court over a procedural flaw in his nomination.

Issuing the order on Monday in a suit no HOG/27/2022, presiding judge, Justice Kareem Adedokun, directed all the parties to maintain status quo ante pending the hearing and determination of the appeal already filed by the defense of Oba Olaoye and the Oyo state government.

Oba Olaoye, who was installed on September 8, 2023 by the kingmakers, was sacked on October 25 in a suit filed by Prince Kabir Olaoye over alleged breach of the process of nomination.  

Aggrieved with the judgement, the monarch and the State Government, which approved the nomination, filed independent appeals citing contradictions in the judgment in view of an earlier ruling on October 3 in which the judge Justice Adedokun ruled the process was right, proper and valid.  

Oba Jimoh Oyewumi, the late Soun of Ogbomoso, joined his ancestors, on Sunday, December 12, 2021.
