Appeal Court Strikes Out Ladoja’s Motion Over Elevation Of Obas In Ibadan
The Court of Appeal in Ibadan on Thursday struck out a motion filed by Sen. Rashidi Ladoja, challenging the powers of Gov. Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State to gazette and approve “ beaded crowns and coronets” to 48 Obas across the state.
Ajimobi appealed the Jan. 20, 2018 decision of Justice Olajumoke Aiki of the Oyo State High Court, which set aside recommendation of a committee of inquiry on the review of the 1957 Ibadan Chieftaincy declaration, which recommended crowning of 21 new Obas in Ibadanland.
