Court declares Rilwan Akiolu bona-fide Oba of Lagos

An Ikeja High Court on Friday declared Rilwan Akiolu as the bona-fide Oba of Lagos.

He held that the evidence offered by the defense before the court, showed that Akiolu had a rightful claim to the throne. “The claimants claimed the Akiolu branch of the Ologun Kutere line has gone into extinction. The third defendant in his evidence was able to trace the lineage of his stool. “The 90-day waiting period is not the custom of the people of Lagos and not a binding rule in the installation of the Oba of Lagos.Adebiyi and Modile were candidates chosen by the Akinsemoyin Ruling House to contest the throne of Lagos in 2003 after the demise of Oba Adeyinka Oyekan, in March 7, 2003.They filed the suit on May 30, 2003.
