An Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan, on Monday, struck out a suit seeking the removal of Olugbon of Orile-Igbon in Ogbomoso zone, Oba Francis Olushola Alao.
Justice K.A. Adedokun struck out the suit for lack of jurisdiction.
Four members of the Akinbola family had approached the court to contest the selection, appointment, and approval of Oba Alao as Olugbon of Orile Igbon.
In his ruling, Justice Adedokun held that the court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the suit because the claimants lacked the locus standi to institute the case and for not suing Surulere Local Government, who is empowered with the authority to commence the selection process and approve Olugbon’s appointment.
Oba Alao became king in July 2017 following the demise of his predecessor, Oba Samuel Adegboyega on October 14, 2015.
