An Osun State High Court in Ede has issued an interim injunction to Governor Ademola Adeleke, preventing him from installing or appointing a new Olojo of Ojo in Egbedore Local Government Area until the court determines a motion filed by five ruling house members. The applicants, including Princes Babatunde Hammed Adegoke and Taofeek Adekunle Adegoke, filed suit HED/18/2026 to protect their interests in the selection of the traditional ruler.
They are joined by the Osun State Attorney-General, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, the Egbedore Traditional Council, Prince Mike Abiola, and High Chief Falowo Jamiu Adebayo, representing opposing parties. The court granted the injunction on October 29, 2026, pending the hearing of the motion filed on March 11, 2026.
The order remains in effect until the court makes a decision. This follows another chieftaincy dispute in Osun State, where four ruling houses in Ijabe, Odo-Otin Local Government Area, challenged the state government's appointment of Babatunde Omotosho Tajudeen as Onijabe on October 23, 2026.
