Court restrains Baales, Mogajis in Ibadan from wearing crowns, coronets
The Chief Judge of Oyo State, Justice Munta Abimbola, has asked elevated Baales and Mogajis in Ibadan land toget back to their original positions before the setting up of the Justice Akintunde Boade Commission of inquiry.
Delivering judgement in a case instituted by 34 coronet-wearing Baales and Mogajis, who were elevated alongside some High Chiefs by the late Governor Abiola Ajimobi in 2017 to contest the validity of the consent judgment entered by parties on Thursday, Justice Abimbola issued an order of perpetual injunction, restraining them from the status of elevation or wearing crowns or coronets.
Abimbola while delivering judgement in a case instituted by 34 coronet-wearing Baales and Mogajis elevated alongside some High Chiefs by the immediate past administration in the state, issued an order of perpetual injunction, restraining them from the status of elevation or wearing crowns or coronets.
Justice Abimbola who dismissed the application filed before the court by the Baales and Mogajis, in his judgement stated that he found no merit in it.
He further explained that all government’s actions must be in compliance with the law of the land.
It was gathered that the claimants had argued that the consent judgement which nullified the review that elevated them was not valid.
The claimants said they were not part of those who made the agreements that formed the consent judgment.
Abimbola then ruled that the applicants do not have the right to wear crowns or coronets.
He warned them to desist from wearing the traditional symbol of office.
