OYO State High Court, on Tuesday, adjourned the
two cases filed by the Seriki chieftaincy line in
Ibadanland seeking approval of the court to strike
out the names of dead defendants and a motion to
set aside the recent promotions of some chiefs in
the Olubadan-in-Council till April 14, for arguments.
The suits were numbered: I/421/2007 and
I/149/2016.
In the two applications presented before the High
Court by counsel to the Seriki chieftaincy line, G.A.
Adeniran, before Justice Munta Abimbola, dated
February 16 and filed March 1, 2016 sought the
approval of the court to strike out the names of the
first, second, third, fourth and sixth defendants in
the case.
They are the late Olubadan, Oba Samuel Odulana
Odugade 1; High Chief Omowale Kuye; High Chief
Sule Omiyale; Chief Adeleke Ajani and Chief Busari
Alarape.
The presiding justice who is also the Chief Justice of
Oyo State, Justice Abimbola, struck out the names of
the dead defendants for necessary amendments
when the defendants’ counsel, Michael Lana, pose
no objection to the application.
In the second application, marked I/149/2016, the
Seriki line prayed the court to compel the Olubadan-
in-Council to obey the 2008 injunction restraining
them from elevating any high chief to the position of
the Olubadan of Ibadanland.
The claimants also joined the Oyo State governor,
the Attorney General of the state and members of
the Olubadan-in-Council in the case.
The second motion moved by G.A. Adeniran, dated
February 16, 2016 and filed on March 1, 2016,
sought to set aside the appointments or promotion
made in the Olubadan-in-Council by the late Oba
Odulana, including the recent installation of Oba
Saliu Adetunji, as well as the approval of the state
governor for the appointments.
But defence counsel, Lana, said the two cases should
be consolidated because they focused on the same
objective or goal that Seriki wanted to produce the
next Olubadan.
