Lawyer asks Makinde to intervene in Oyo kingship tussle | TheCable

Pelumi Olajengbesi, a human rights lawyer, has asked Seyi Makinde, Oyo governor, to intervene in the Aresa kingship tussle in Surulere LGA of the state.

The lawyer said with the demise of Jimoh Oyeyemi Oloyede, the former king from the Oshunbiyi ruling house, in 2018, the Emiolu ruling house is entitled to produce the next Aresa of Iresa-Adu as the two ruling houses operate the principle of rotation.

“Notwithstanding this irrefutable circumstance, some individuals perhaps working against the gazetted chieftaincy declaration of Iresa-Adu have continued to institute unwarranted suits against the throne of Aresa and against the traditional right of the Emiolu family. “We consider this order to be a gross miscarriage of justice particularly on the ground that the Emiolu family was not a party to the case giving rise to the court of appeal’s order the basis of which the high court dismissed the matter.”
