Court dethrones new Soun of Ogbomoso

An Oyo State High Court sitting in Ogbomoso has ordered the removal of the new Soun, King Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye.

Recall that Oyo state Government announced the selection of the former RCCG Pastor and he was installed king on the 8th of September, 2023.

Another contender for the stool, Laoye Kabir had earlier queried Ghandi’s selection claiming he is not eligible for the throne adding that there were discrepancies in the selection.

It was also gathered that a court injunction had called for the stop of Ghandi’s installation of which Oyo state Government ignored.

Delivering his judgment, Justice Adedokun announced that the selection of Ghandi Olaoye is illegal and ordered that the Ogbomoso king makers begin a new process to select an Oba.
