An Oyo State High Court, sitting in Ibadan has adjourned the case challenging installation of a new monarch, Oba Saliu Adetunji, as the Olubadan of Ibadan land, by Abiola Ajimobi, to February 12, in a suit filed by Adebayo Oyediji, and three others, including, Olalekan Fakunle, Rasheed Abinupagun and Gabriel Amao.

The court sitting before Justice Moshood Abass adjourned the case to February 12, after the claimants’ counsel, Sarafadeen Adebayo, informed the court that all processes needed in prosecuting the case had been filed by both parties.

It was learnt that, the claimants claimed that that it was the turn of Seriki chieftaincy line to produce the next Olubadan after the death of Oba Samuel Lana, which was against the appointment of Adetunji by the state governor.

The claimants challenged further that the consistent occupation of the Olubadan throne by the Olubadan chieftaincy line and Balogun chieftaincy lines while excluding the Seriki line.
