Post by: Shola Sholaz on Nov 23, 2013, 12:13 AM
The efforts of Alago Oja of Ago Oja, Alhaji Ganiyu Busari Ajiboye to quash an earlier judgment which barred him from parading himself as the traditional ruler of the town failed as a Federal High Court. in Ibadan struck out the suit he instituted.
.
He was enthroned by former Governor Adebayo Alao- Akala against the consent of the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi.
.
Ajiboye had prayed the court to quash an earlier judgment restraining him from parading himself as the Alago Oja of Ago Oja in Oyo town.
.
The earlier judgment was delivered by Retired Justice Olu Akinola of the Oyo State High Court in a Suit No. HOY/46/2006 between the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III and Assistant Commissioner of Police and others.
.
However, the alleged failure of Alhaji Ajiboye to heed the judgment was said to have caused unrest in the ancient town of Oyo, a development said to have necessitated the attempt by the police to enforce the judgment.
.
This then compelled Alhaji Ajiboye to institute another suit before a Federal High Court to challenge the attempt by the police to enforce the subsisting judgment, claiming over N1 billion damages against the Oyo State Government and the police.
.
However, Justice Abimbola Obaseki-Adejumo of the Ibadan Judicial Division of the Federal High Court, in her judgment, struck out the suit instituted by the Alago Oja through Fundamental Enforcement Procedure Rule.
