Crisis: Ruling houses warn Ondo LG against disobeying court order

“Last year, the acting Governor, His Excellency Mr lucky Ayedatiwa, invited all the parties to Akure, and after the meeting, he confirmed to us that Ode Erinje had no chieftaincy declaration and as such, he said the government’s hands were tied, coupled with numerous court injunctions and orders.

“The acting governor then advised all the parties to go back home and settle amicably by using Ode Erinje tradition and customs to select or elect our king. He said we should follow our traditional rotational system of order and to also make plan to lift all the court injunctions placed on the matter. The peace meeting was held, but the Olajorin faction of Ebiekuraju refused to sign the agreement reached after the meeting thereby making the meeting deadlocked.

“Despite all the court injunctions that subsist, we were shocked to get a letter from the council chairman directing kingmakers to nominate warrant chiefs. The Ijaye and Alara protested against this development by writing a protest letter to the relevant government agencies.” In the same vein, the statement added that the Ijaye Ruling House also filed a new case at the Okitipupa High Court, with suit number No HOK/52/23, in August and got another court injunction, restraining all the parties and all the relevant government agencies, the chiefs and warrant chiefs of the community, from going ahead with the selection or election of a new monarch, pending the determination on the motions on...

“We hereby use this medium to warn the warrant chiefs and the LG chairman to desist from going ahead. Failure or refusal to obey the court order and injunction will lead to the enforcement of the court order, consequently leading to their arrest and prosecutions,” the statement warned.All rights reserved.
