An Akure High Court presided over by Justice A. Adegoroye has
ordered the Oloja of Oka in Ondo community, Noah Ijelu, to vacate
his throne immediately.
Justice Adegoroye gave the order in his judgment in a case filed
by members of Adesinmirinwa and Olupona ruling houses against the
installation of Ijelu.
In the suit, the governor, his deputy, the Attorney General and
Commissioner for Justice, the Osemawe of Ondo Kingdom, Oba Victor
Kiladejo, as well as High Chief Lisa J. A. Akinkunmi, representing
the kingmakers of Oka community, and Mr. Noah Olafusi Ijelu, are
defendants.
The two ruling houses, which instituted the matter, prayed the
court to hold that there are only two ruling houses in Oka
community: Akinsinmirinwa and Olupona.
They said the Olupona ruling house should be the next to ascend
the throne of Oloja since the last occupier of the throne, the late
Oloja Dada Adedimeji Akinsoyinu, was from Adesinmirinwa ruling
house.
