Fayemi, others dragged to court over Oore traditional stool in Ekiti

Following the crisis trailing the appointment of the new Oore of Otun in Moba Local Government Area of Ekiti State, a royal family has dragged Governor Kayode Fayemi to court over alleged imposition of a new monarch in the ancient town.

Joined in the suit are Governor Fayemi, the Deputy Governor, Chief Bisi Egbeyemi, Attorney General and Justice Commissioner, Secretary, Moba Local Government, the Obanla of Otun, Chief Adeniran Odeniyi and the head of Iyaaba ruling house, Chief Ateere Folorunso. He, therefore, sought an order of the court nullifying all the actions taken by the government in respect of selection made from Iyaaba ruling house.

Speaking on the matter, Counsel to the claimant, Mr. Olakanmi Falade, explained that if truly it was the government that directed that a new Oore be selected from Iyaaba ruling House, such would be in contravention of the subsisting Ekiti State Chief Law.
