Court Sacks New Soun of Ogbomosho, Gives Fresh Order

 

 

The Oyo State High Court sitting in Ogbomoso, on Wednesday, upturned the appointment of the new Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Ghandi Olaoye.

 

The state government had announced Redeemed Pastor, Olaoye as the new Soun and made him king, on September 8, 2023.

 

The court ordered the Oyo State Government to conduct a fresh selection process for the next Soun.

 

This followed a suit filed by one of the contestants, Kabir Laoye.

 

Laoye had argued in his suit that Olaoye was not eligible to be appointed as Soun and that his appointment was, therefore, illegal.

 

The court agreed with Laoye’s argument and ruled that Olaoye’s appointment was null and void.

 

The court also ordered the government not to appoint anyone to the position until after its judgement.

 

The Oyo State Government announced Olaoye as the new Soun on September 8, 2023, and he was installed on the same day.
