Breaking: Court Strikes Out Gboleru’s Application To Stop Approval of Akinrun-elect, Akadiri

An Osun State High Court sitting in Osogbo on Wednesday struck out the Stay of Execution sought by the Gboleru ruling house of Ikirun to restrain the state government from approving the selection of Prince Yinusa Olalekan Kadri.

Akinrun-elect, Akadri had emerged through an election conducted by the kingmakers of Ikirun after the court had ruled that they should move to the next ruling house due to inability of Gboleru to present candidate for the vacant stool.

Gboleru approached the court and granted exparte motion for the government to stay execution on the approval of the process and subsequent announcement of Kadiri as the new Akinrun of Ikirun.

In his ruling on Wednesday, Justice Jide Falola described the application as frivolous, immature and lacking in merit and therefore was dismissed.
