Three daughters of the late the Alaye-Aba of Aba, Aiyepe, Ogun State, Oba Rauf Adebayo Raji-Suleimon, have sued the unincorporated Osugbo Society of Ijebuland (known as the Ogboni) over the alleged hijack of the late monarch’s corpse.
In a suit filed at the Federal High Court, in Abeokuta, they are seeking N50 billion against the Osugbo Society.
The claimants, Aderonke Egunjimi, Tiwalade Abass and Adeyemi Joseph, filed the fundamental rights application through their lawyer, Chief Bolaji Ayorinde SAN.
They stated that Raji-Sulaimon was a devoted and practising Muslim in his lifetime, performing pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina and had several awards and recognitions by Muslim Societies because of his contributions to the Islamic faith.
