Monarch, community sue Fayemi to prevent relocation of LG headquarters
The Supreme Court in a judgment delivered by a panel led by Justice Olabode Rhodes-Vivour on December 14, 2018 ordered the relocation of the council headquarters from Iye Ekiti to Eda Oniyo.
The 19-year case which was filed by the Eleda of Eda Oniyo, Oba Julius Awolola, to challenge the relocation of council headquarters to Iye after it was initially sited in his domain started at the State High Court, went through the Court of Appeal before it was finally decided at the Supreme Court. The Defendants are the Governor of Ekiti State Attorney General of Ekiti State and the Eleda of Eda Oniyo, Oba Julius Awolola .
The claimants in the suit filed by their counsel, Mr. Taiwo Kupolati, are seeking a court declaration that by virtue of the Local Government Administration Law of Ekiti State No. 2 of 1999, being a law which has not been reviewed, repealed, nullified or invalidated by any order of court, Iye Ekiti remains the headquarters of Ilejemeje Local Government Council.
