Court sacks Ondo monarch, orders new installation

The verdict has put an end to the lingering ‘obaship’ tussle which has rocked the ancient town for almost 30 years.

One of the ruling families, the Opetusin Ruling House, had approached the court to stop one Oyenusi family from contesting the stool on the grounds that the family was not a ruling house. The suit was filed by the plaintiff’s lawyer, Mr Bode Famakin, and had the State Governor, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu; the Special Adviser to the Governor on Chieftaincy Affairs; the Secretary, Irele local government, Chief Ajigbore Olagundoye, and Claudius Lebi as defendants in the suit. The fourth and fifth defendants are representatives of Oyenusi and Ojomo Houses.

The stool of of Olofun of Irele became vacant following the death of Late Oba Olanrewaju Lebi, who passed away in January 1993. After the death of the monarch, Ayeromora was appointed to be the regent of the community pending the installation of another substantive monarch. The Opetusin Ruling House insisted that the Oyenusi family was not entitled to contest the vacant stool, saying it had already nominated a candidate, Prince Bamidele Ekunsanmi but the process of installing the candidate was not done by the government.
