A High Court of the State of Osun, sitting in Ikirun, has granted an order of interim injunction disqualifying the Obaara and Adedeji ruling houses from contesting the vacant Akinrun stool, as requested by the Gboleru Ruling House in a suit filed before the court.
The court, in its order on Wednesday, also restrained the Kingmakers, Local Government and the State Government of Osun from accepting any nomination outside the Gboleru Ruling House.
Granting the reliefs sought by Messrs. Mudasiru Olatunji, Lukman Olatunji, Sunday Olatunji and Olalere Asunmo on behalf of Gboleru Ruling House, Justice A.A. G. Onibokun contended that the 12 defendants including the Heads of Obaara and Adedeji ruling houses in the suit should exercise restraint pending the determination of the case.
A copy of the court order obtained by OSUN DEFENDER yesterday, reads: “Leave is granted to the Plaintiffs/Applicants restraining the 1st and 2nd Defendants and the entire members of the Oba Ara and Adedeji ruling houses respectively, from participating in the process of the nomination of the person to fill the vacant stool of Akirun within the life of this Interim Injunction.
