The Olu of Iju Ishaga, Prince Bago Iginla has been sacked by the Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja.
The Monarch was said to have been removed over his disobedience to a court order and failure to follow proper selection procedures.
The judgment came after
It will be recalled that Chief Adams Akande Balogun, Mr. Bashiru Alamu Balogun, and Mr. Rasheed Adewole Balogun filed a suit claiming that their family, the Arayomi Aiyeteru Ruling House, was next in line to produce the traditional ruler.
To this ends, they decided to challenged the approval and installation of Prince Iginla by the Lagos State Executive Council, saying it was done while a court order to stop all actions was still active.
“The installation was done in clear disobedience of the court’s earlier directive and described the act as contempt.” Justice L.A.M Folami ruled.
The Judge went on to cancel the state government’s approval, nullify the installation, and barred Prince Iginla from presenting himself as the Olu of Iju
Ishaga.
