Court Halts Adeleke's Removal of Ikirun Monarch Akadiri
The Court of Appeal has issued a restraining order against Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, preventing him from removing Olalekan Akadiri from his position as the Akirun of Ikirun. This decision comes as a result of an ongoing appeal concerning the chieftaincy crisis in Ikirun.
The court, presided over by Justice S. O.
Nwaka, emphasized the need to maintain the status quo until the appeal is resolved. The governor's earlier declaration that the stool of Akirun Ikirun was vacant has been put on hold.
The court heard arguments from various parties, including counsel N. O.
Ok, who highlighted a letter from the Eesa Ikirun, urging the court to maintain the status quo. The court's order reflects the importance of justice and peace in the community, as the matter remains pending in the court system.
