Case Against Olofa Goes to Appeal Court
The Olugbense Ruling House of Offa, Kwara State on Friday appealed against the judgement of an Ilorin High Court delivered by Justice Suleiman Akanbi which upheld the ascension to the throne of Oba Mufutau Gbadamosi as the Olofa of Offa.
According to a copy of the appeal suit made available to journalists in Ilorin on Sunday, the appellants include Alhaji Sheu Oyeniyi; Alhaji Abdulrauf Adegboyega; and Prince Saka Keji on behalf of themselves and the Olugbense Ruling House.
Joined in the appeal as respondents are Alhaji Yunnus Bukoye, Essa of Offa; Alhaji Kadir Bello, (Ojomu of Offa); Alhaji Oseni Olaniyi (Balogun of Offa); Alhaji Zikrullah Sanni, (Olaboye Shawo of Offa); Attorney General of Kwara State and Kwara State Governor.
The appellants, through their counsel, Mr. John Baiyeshea (SAN), sought for an order setting aside part of the judgment of the trial judge, especially his findings that ascension to the throne of Olofa of Offa is not rotational between the two Ruling Houses of Offa.
They prayed for a declaration that Keji is the proper person to be installed by the Attorney General of the state and the Governor as the Olofa of Offa.
They asked for an order compelling the state's Attorney General and the Governor to install Keji as the Olofa of Offa.
