Ajimobi defies court order, confers title on sacked Oyo ‘monarch’
The Oyo State Government has conferred a traditional title on the ‘sacked’ Baale of Lanlate, Abdulateef Olagoke.that ordered the monarch to vacate the stool.
The court also nullified Mr Oladejo’s deposition, describing it as “unlawful, illegal, null and void” and “a breach of the right of the claimants to fair hearing.” The government was then ordered to reinstate Mr Oladejo to his position as Baale of Lanlate and restore all the rights, privileges and entitlements attached to his office.
A group in the community, Lanlate Progressive Forum, while commenting on the move, called on Governor Abiola Ajimobi to stop the allocation of beaded crown to the embattled monarch. “We notice that rather than the state government to implement the judgement of the state high court by Hon. Justice B. A Taiwo, the government is conferring Obaship on whom is no more recognised by law as the Baale of Lanlate.”
