The Oyo State High Court has gone against the appointment of the recently appointed Oba Ghandi Olaoye as the new Soun of Ogbomoso.
We reported earlier that against public and cultural resistance, the Oyo State Government on the 8th of September, 2023, announced the ex RCCG Pastor Ghandi Olaoye as the new Soun of the land.
Before the time of the announcement, one of the contestants and kins man of the former pastor, Kabir Laoye had gone to court to challenge Ghandi Olaoye of his
eligible to take Soun’s position.
Though our correspondent gathered that Oyo state High Court in Ogbomoso at that time had restrained the Governor, Engr Seyi Makinde, the Attorney General of the State and Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters or anyone else from presenting any form of instrument of office or issuing certificate of installation to Olaoye, until the final determination of the mandatory injunction already filed before the court.
It was reported that Areago High Chief, Sobalaje Otolorin, disclosed that the kingmakers were not aware of a restraining order by any court.
Sobalaje Otolorin led the installation that took place in Abata, Pastor Ghandi then proceeded into seclusion to commence traditional rites attached to the throne.
