Legal Battle Unfolds Over Succession to Oloro of Oro Throne

Date: 2024-04-25

According to a news report from Daily Trust, the residents of Oro town in Irepodun LGA of Kwara State have initiated legal proceedings concerning the title of the potential successor to the late Oloro of Oro, Oba Abdulrafiu Ajiboye Oyelaran, who passed away last month after a prolonged illness.

The demise of Oba Abdulrafiu Ajiboye Oyelaran has sparked considerable interest among aspirants from the ruling houses within the kingdom.

Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, during a visit to Oro last month, urged contenders for the vacant throne to approach the succession process with a mindset of peace, as represented by Alhaji Raheem Adedoyin, the Oloriewe of Oro Kingdom and a Chieftain of APC.

In a case registered as Suit No. Kws/151/4 at the Kwara State High Court, Ilorin, as cited by a correspondent, the claimants are seeking the court's declaration that individuals from any of the generic communities within Oro District are not entitled to be installed or enthroned as the "Oloro of Oro, Oba Oloro of Oro, or Oro Kingdom or Oro Land."

The plaintiffs, including the Asanlu of Oro, Chief Simon Kayode Olayemi Olayioye, Aro of Oro, Chief Gabriel Afolabi Abioye, and the National President of Oro Community Association, Professor Bababode James Bojuwoye, argue that the name Oro in Oro district refers to their community.

The defendants in the case include the Eesa of Iludun Oro, Chief Samuel Taiye Otunola, Baale of Ijomu Oro, Sawo of Okerimi Oro, Chief Raphael Oyeniyi Babatunde, Asoni of Okeola Oro, Chief Mohammed Adewole Atoyebi, Baale of Iludun Oro, Chief Stephen Ayoola Bolaji, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, and Irepodun Local Government Council, among others.

Speaking with our correspondent of Wednesday, the TIC chairman of Irepodun, Jide Oyinloye, confirmed the incident.

“We have received the suit. Those they joined apart from the local government include the traditional council, the governor and others. But we are taking steps (over the situation).
