Olofa: Ruling house petitions Kwara AG

Date: 2014-06-09

The Olugbense ruling house of Offa Local Government Area of Kwara State has accused the deposed Olofa of Offa, Alhaji Mohammed Mufutau Gbadamosi of disobeying an Appeal Court order by parading himself as the Olofa.

Last July, the appellate court declared the installation of Gbadamosi, who is of the Anilelerin ruling house, as illegal.

Olugbense and Anilelerin are the two ruling houses in the ancient town.

The Olugbense ruling house has petitioned the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice to desist from further encouraging the deposed monarch to parade himself as the Olofa.

The petition is titled: "Re: Olofa stool: Aiding and abetting disobedience of the judgment/order of the Court of Appeal in Appeal No. CAL/71/2012 by Alhaji Mufutau Gbadamosi."

It reads: "I hereby bring to your attention the act of disobedience by the above mentioned judgment of the Court of Appeal delivered on July 9, last year.

"It is a matter of great regret that since the judgment was delivered July last year and Alhaji Mufutau Gbadamosi was dethroned by the Court of Appeal and restrained from parading himself as the Olofa of Offa, he has refused to comply with the judgment and the state has aided and abetted him to do so.

"It is on record that soon after the judgment, the government took out paid adverts in some newspapers to greet him on his 50th birthday, describing him as the Olofa of Offa. This complaint was laid before the Court of Appeal and same is now at the Supreme Court.

"The latest in this provocative, contemptible and condemnable act was on May 29, when Gbadamosi came to Ilorin as Olofa of Offa (purportedly to visit the governor on democracy day).

"Then on June 2, the governor visited Offa to inaugurate some projects. The event was attended by Gbadamosi who paraded himself as Olofa of Offa in full regalia and paraphernalia of office, and to the biggest surprise of all and sundry, received recognition of the governor as such.

"Tongues have not stopped wagging ever since on why the government would permit and, indeed, encourage Gbadamosi to flout with impunity the direct and positive judgment of the Appeal Court.

"The case is now at the Supreme Court at Gbadamosi's instance. Though that court has not made any pronouncement one way or the other, the judgment of the Court of Appeal dethroning him still stands; by the above mentioned contemptuous acts, the judiciary is being ridiculed as powerless and impotent.

"As the number one legal officer of the state and key member of the profession, you ought not to keep silent.

"Please be informed that we shall take our complaint herein further to the Supreme Court for record purposes."
