VIDEO: 3 months after Supreme Court’s sack, dethroned Eleruwa resumes in palace

• Hires thugs, OPC men for protection

The sacked Eleruwa of Eruwa, Oba Samuel Adegbola on Sunday (February 16th, 2020) resumed at the Eleruwa Palace, Eruwa in Ibarapa East Local Government Area of Oyo state amidst hired thugs and members of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Mega Icon Magazine reliably gathered.

 

 

It would be recalled that the Supreme Court had earlier sacked Oba Adegbola  and six others, dismissing an appeal they lodged before it as lacking in merit.

 

The apex court, in an unanimous judgement by a five-man panel of Justices led by Justice Danttijo Mohammad, declined to set-aside concurrent verdicts of the Oyo state High Court and the Court of Appeal that held that they appellants had no right to the ancestral throne.

Appellants before the apex court were H.R.H. Oba Samuel Adebayo-Adegbola (Eleruwa), Chief Samuel Salako Adewusi (The deceased Odofin Eruwa), Chief Femi Atanda-Jagun of Eruwa, Chief I.O. Olabode-Olukuton of Eruwa, Chief Idowu Okeowo-Asipa of Eruwa, Chief E. Ojebis.

Also, respondents in the appeal included Mr. James Olatunde Idowu, (For himself and on behalf of Laribikusi ruling house excepting Lasubu family or section of OF Laribikusi ruling house/quarters), Alhaji Rasheed Oyedepo Ajao, Oyo state governor, the Oyo state Attorney General and the Ibarapa East local government.

According to the lead verdict that was delivered by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, the apex court held: “The appeal has no merit and is hereby dismissed, I made no order as to cost. Parties are to bear their cost, the appeal is dismissed”.

Having resolved all the five issues raised in the appeal against the appellants, it upheld earlier decisions of the two lower courts.

The video footage obtained by our reporter  today via the social media platform shows the sacked monarch,  Oba Adegbola  returning  to the  Palace three months after the Supreme court’s judgement.

Also corroborating our reporter’s claim, two hours ago, one  Akintunde Segun, the younger brother of the youngest Olori, posted on his Facebook timeline, “Don’t be too excited when you’re happy and someone is crying.

“Don’t be too excited when you got the answer and someone is failing

“EXCITEMENT as Good people of Eruwa welcoming ELERUWA OF ERUWA BACK TO PALACE ….. KABIYESI OBA SAMUEL ADEGBOLA.
