The tussle over the Ibadan Chieftancy matter assumed a new dimension as Justice Munta Abimbola, the Chief Judge of Oyo State on Thursday ordered elevated Baales and Mogajis in Ibadan land to return to their original positions before the setting up of the Justice Boade Commission of inquiry.
The court further issued an order of perpetual Injunction, restraining them from the status of elevation or wearing crowns or coronets.
Justice Abimbola in his judgment said he finds no merit in their application before the court, dismissed it in its entirety and answered all their questions in the negative.
He further held that all government’s actions must be in compliance with the law of the land.
This judgment has now paved way for the installation of new Olubadan as all the members of the Olubadan in Council have agreed that Chief Lekan Balogun should be the next Olubadan.
Governor Makinde had insisted that except the case is dropped at the court, he will not approve the Installation of a new Olubadan according to the statutes of Oyo State.
