Oba Kabiru Adesegun Basiru, the Olu of Oko Baba Agba in Lagos State, has appealed a court order that invalidated his installation, aiming to move forward with his planned coronation on November 16. The Lagos State High Court ruled in favor of Prince Adeniyi Saliu and six others, along with the governor and four others, against Basiru's nomination, appointment, approval, and installation.
The court issued an injunction to restrain Basiru from representing himself as the monarch. However, Basiru's legal team, led by D.A. Awosika, SAN & Partners, filed an appeal on November 6, citing substantial legal questions. The lawyers filed a stay of execution and injunction pending appeal to safeguard the community's interests and prevent the appeal process from being rendered fruitless.
They urged residents and stakeholders to maintain peace and unity while the legal matter was pending.
