Olubadan: Courts to give judgement on January 19, 2018

A High Court sitting in Ibadan, Oyo state on Wednesday said judgment in the case filed by the Osi Olubadan of Ibadan land, Rashidi Ladoja, against the Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi and others would be given on January 19, 2018.

Ladoja is requesting a restraining order from the court, stopping the Justice Boade Commission set up by the governor to review the Olubadan Chieftaincy Declaration of 1959 from sitting, accepting any memorandum or in any way taking any step in furtherance of its assignment, until the determination of a motion on notice in respect of the subject.

In the case with suit number M/317/2017, the Otun Olubadan, High Chief Lekan Balogun, was a co-claimant but later withdrew from it and became a crowned monarch according to the recommendation of the commission.

Ladoja is also seeking  the court to set aside the report of the commission on the review of the chieftaincy declaration.

After listening to the submission of Ladoja’s counsel, Michael Lana, that of Ajimobi, Mallam Yusuf Alli (SAN), and Justice Boade’s counsel, Seun Abimbola, the presiding judge, Justice Olajumoke Aiki, scheduled the judgment date for January 19, 2018.
