SUPREME COURT DECIDES ON AKUNGBA OBASHIP TUSSLE JANUARY 16


The supreme court has fixed a date for the ruling on injunction, stay of execution, of coronation of prince oseni isiaka as Alale of Akungba Akoko and hearing of the substantive suit respectively.

The apex court fixed January 16, 2019 for the case with suit number SC 155/2018 while counsels to parties have been duly notified.
The case is between Julius Olanipon and prince Emmanuel Salau as well Sunday Akeju from Agure-Mokun branch of the Ole ruling house of Akungba Akoko.
The stay of execution was filed by Julius Olanipon to restrain Ondo State Government from executing the court of appeal verdict of December 11, 2017 which affirmed the High Court judgement of December 20, 2013 that declared prince oseni isiaka as the new Alale of Akungba Akoko.
The stay of execution and injunction was initially filed at appeal court but struck out upon the withdrawal request by appellant before it was file at the apex court.
Counsel to the appellant, Barister Olabanjo Ayenakin claimed that one Mr Sunday Ajimoh has already occupied the royal throne.
He however urged the apex court to grant the stay of execution and injunction on the appeal court judgement.
Meanwhile counsel to the respondent, Agure mokun family branch of ole ruling house, Mallam Gani Ashiru asked the Supreme Court to strike out the prayer of the appelant for stay of execution and injunction since it is a declarative judgement.
He also submitted that the apex court should sack one Mr Sunday Ajimoh who was wrongfully and illegally installed as Alale of Akungba Akoko by the immediate past administration in the state having flagrantly disobeyed court order not to do so.
Meanwhile the Alale Elect, Prince Oseni Isiaka Adu&m and Akungba community in general have appealed to the Ondo State Government led by Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, and heads of security agencies to fortify the university town with maximum security to forestall any possible breakdown of law and order on that day.
It would be recalled that Akungba Akoko in Akoko Aouth West Local Government Area of Ondo State has been in obaship crisis since the demise of oba Omoshowon Adekanye in December 2003.

Omg Thank God AAUA is not in session

Is AAUA not in session in December 2013 when the High court gave judgment on the same obasship tussle ?
Perhaps, you may not have been admitted by that time.
