The High court had in a judgement delivered by Justice Abiodun Adesodun in a suit number HAD/134/2020 on the 1st March 2021 removed the monarch from the throne, saying his selection contravened the State’s Chieftaincy edict.
Joined in the appeal were: Prince Ebenezer Aladejuyigbe (1st respondent) and Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi(2nd respondent).
In the appeal, the monarch faulted the position canvassed by the High Court that his selection violated the extant rule, saying he was validly selected to occupy the throne of his forebears.
