The Oyo State High Court sitting in Ogbomoso, on Monday, granted a stay of execution to Oba Ghandi Olaoye as the duly elected Soun of Ogbomosoland.
Soun stool became a subject of legal tussle after Oba Olaoye’s appointment as the Soun was nullified by the court over a procedural flaw in his nomination.
The presiding Judge, Justice Kareem Adedokun, while issuing the order, in suit no HOG/27/2022, directed all the parties to maintain the status quo ante pending the hearing and determination of the appeal already filed by the defence of Oba Olaoye and the Oyo State Government.
