Abomination my foot.

Are Obas above the law?

Capital yes...in Nigeria Oba's above the law. Not even only obas

Mostimes I wonder!!! Is it what you lawyers read in school I thought NOBODY is above the law !

Nigeria judicial system is just a huge joke

This Oba Elegushi and land sef .

Otodo-Gbame is still fresh in mind. How a whole community was dislodged with many killed and others rendered homeless to build an elitist estate is not forgotten

Good he met his match on this one.
If they were some peasants, you no go hear pim.

evil people. Go to elegushi and see the full meaning of wickedness (ika).

PrinceOfLagos:
I'm a royalty, it is an abomination for a police officer to arrest oba

lol when oba is acting fraudulently?

It is not new.

Quite a number of so-called Obas are known fraudsters.

I won't name names but we know.

They use their influence to do many unbecoming things.

Buckeyemedia1:
President has no business with Native customs & tradition, that is the exclusive jurisdiction of The Governor, The Constitution is unambiguous on that.

You are easily speaking English

If the president wants any of the so-called Kings out it will happen. Of course he will go through the governor.

If the governor refuses, there are many ways to skin a bird.

PrinceOfLagos:
I'm a royalty, it is an abomination for a police officer to arrest oba

For clarity, quote the sections of the law that gave Obas immunity from arrest.

SachaBastien:

I never was talking about Ọbá Elegushi specifically. Sani Abacha removed a sultan. The ooni can be removed by the governor or president. They are no different from Ọbá Elegushi. I mean no disrespect to the things you hold dear but this Nigerian styled non-constitutional mushroom monarchies is nothing but maniacal madness.

You said it yourself Sani Abacha, what Constitution do you expect a military leader to follow? Military Constitution does not respect traditions and norms. I'm not saying it can't happen but the backlash and the judiciary makes it virutally impossible for larger kings like the Ooni compared to lesser ones like Elegushi.

Please when they eventually arrest him, they should make him refund all the monies his boys made us pay before we could access a public beach.

It's funny how one family lays claim to land almost as big as a LGA and everybody keeps quiet.
It can NEVER happen where I am from.

I don’t think entrance to any beach is free in Nigeria because government doesn’t maintain them they have to be maintained privately hence the fees. Even badagry beach u pay to enter.

SachaBastien:

They do nothing. Be they called Oba, Obi, Emir or whatever title, they are all worthless and of no good. They call themselves kings yet a state governor can remove them in a flash. Can Boris Johnson remove Her Majesty, Queen of the British Empire? These "traditional rulers" take money (in brown envelopes....there is a video of one Lagos Ọbá doing so) from politicians to temper your will and douse demands for equity and justice. They are a big part of your problems.

Any oba or emir the state makes can also be removed by the state. It’s that simple.

There are some oba and emirs the state didn’t make.

Are Obas above the law?

..... Some of them are literally above the law sha.... There are some monarchs you can't touch..... Ooni of Ife and oba of Benin are prime examples.....

illicit:
What does an oba do anyway

.... An oba is a monarch..... He rules for a living!

.... That's why they are royalty.... Do u know how much rights and privileges the queen of England has unchallenged even if it doesn't make sense?

They have a Supreme Court judgment over that land. If not, they won't have 1/40 of the land
