Oyo State High Court Overrules Appointment of New Soun of Ogbomoso

The Oyo State High Court in Ogbomoso has invalidated the appointment of the new Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Ghandi Olaoye. The decision comes after the state government officially declared Olaoye, a Redeemed Pastor, as the new Soun and instated him as king on September 8, 2023.

The court’s verdict represents a notable shift in the leadership of Ogbomoso, raising questions about the selection process and legal considerations. This decision is expected to trigger discussions and potential revisions in the appointment of traditional leaders in the region.

The outcome of this legal challenge to Oba Ghandi Olaoye’s appointment is set to have a lasting impact on the traditional leadership structure in Ogbomoso, and further developments are eagerly awaited.
