Oyo State Chief Judge, CJ, Justice Munta Abimbola, on Tuesday, dismissed a suit filed by Senator Lekan Balogun and seven other Ibadan High Chiefs, contesting the validity of a consent judgment delivered by a state high court on November 19, 2019 in suit M/317/2017.
The Chief Judge also declared that there is no court proceeding delaying the selection and installation of the Olubadan of Ibadan henceforth.
Justice Abimbola added that parties can proceed in the process leading to the selection of a new king.
In a brief judgement on the suit, the Chief Judge declared that the Olubadan Chieftaincy Declaration of 1957 stands unmoved like the rock of Gibraltar, and remains unaffected by any step taken so far.
