Soun Of Ogbomoso

An Ibadan-based lawyer, Barrister Abiodun Amole has declared as null and void the query issued by the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye to the Chief Imam of the town, Sheik Teliat Yunus Ayilara.

Amole noted that there is no law that says that a Chief Imam of a town must take permission from the traditional ruler before he can embark on a journey. Amole made these declarations via a statement made available to DAILY POST on Thursday. It could be recalled that the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye had issued a query to the Chief Imam for going to Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj exercise without informing him. https://dailypost.

'There is no law that provides that a Nigerian citizen shall inform or seek the permission of another citizen before travelling or exercising his constitutionally - guaranteed right to freedom of movement as enshrined in Section 41 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999. 'Furthermore, article 13 & of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights & Article 12 & of the African Charter on Human and People's Rights also guarantee that right.
