ONDO COURT DETHRONES MONARCH, ORDERS FRESH SELECTION PROCESS
An Ondo High Court has deposed a first-class monarch in Ose Local Council of Ondo State, the Olute of Ute, Oba Michael Adetunji.
After a protracted chieftaincy battle spanning 29 years between the deposed Oba and the Olule Omoloja reigning house, Adetunji, a retired military officer, was dethroned.
The retired major who had been deposed should no longer parade himself as Olute, according to Justice Enikuomehin’s ruling.
The court, which granted damages, confirmed that Oluwole, being a member of the kingmakers, has no claim to the kingdom and ordered a new selection process to be conducted within the Olule Omoloja ruling lineage.

Speaking about the ruling, the claimant’s attorney, Mr. Adewumi Fabuluje, claimed that the Olule Omolaja Ruling House had finally won the lawsuit, noting that it had begun in 1995 and had been heard in all courts.
Fabuluje clarified that following the Appellate Court’s decision, the Supreme Court remitted the matter to the High Court for a new trial.
