Hope of the Eleruwa
of Eruwa in Oyo State, Oba Samuel Adegbola of continuing his reign as the
monarch of the ancient town was dashed today as the Federal Court of Appeal,
Adeoyo road, Ibadan dismissed the petition brought before it to quash the
earlier High Court judgement which nullified his ascension to the throne 15
years ago.
In
about one hour judgement delivered by Monica Dongba-Mensan of the court two in
the Appeal Court about 24 hours to the monarch's 15th year anniversary on
the throne, she commended the counsel, Demilade Olaniyan and Tona Akande for
their industry as she dismissed the petition of the appellant.
Oba
Adegbola and six others had brought a petition against James Olatunde Idowu and
four others following a judgment delivered by Ladipo Abimbola of the
State High Court on January 26, 2011 which declared that the monarch was
wrongly picked for the throne.
The
judge, in her judgment examined some issues raised by the appellant and affirmedd
that the eminent jury were satisfied with the process with which the lower
court conducted the case.
