The Kogi State High Court sitting in Kabba has sacked Alhaji Ganiyu Isa from the stool of Olu of Odokoro-Gbede in Ojumu Local Government Area of of Kogi State.

The court also declared Mallam Busiriyu Aliu as the substantive Olu of Odokoro-Gbede.

Delivering the judgment, the presiding judge, Justice A.B. Akogu, declared that the nomination and installation of Ganiyu Isah as Olu of Odokoro-Gbedde by the second, third and fourth defendants in the case was not in line with the judgment of the State High Court, Lokoja, dated 13th May, 2016 which empowered Mallam Busiriyu Aliu to be installed as the Olu of Odokoro.

According to him, the nomination of the 30th March 2011 by the Omoaguni Elewonunibi family which produced Mallam Busiriyu Aliu as the candidate for the seat still stands, hence it should be upheld; noting that the action of the second, third and fourth defendants is wrongful in nominating and installing Ganiyu Isah as the Olu of Odokoro.

He said the nomination, appointment and installation of Ganiyu Isah by the second to fourth defendants is null and void and of no effect whatsoever.

Justice Akogu further gave a perpetual order of injunction restraining Ganiyu Isah from further parading himself as the Olu of Odokoro and also restraining the Ijumu Traditional Council and Ijumu Local Government Council not to recognise or have any dealing with him as the paramount ruler of Odokoro community.

It will be recalled that immediately the announcement of the demise of Oba Solomon Bodunrin was made on January, 30th, 2002, who to replace him as the Olu of Odokoro became a subject of litigation between the Omoaguni Elewounibi and Osura families, which lasted for 17 years.

The case was decided in favour of the Omoaguni Elewounibi family and Mallam Busiriyu Aliu was to be installed as the Olu of Odokoro on the 13th May, 2016 but was shortchanged by some persons within Ijumu Traditional Council.

Not comfortable with the actions of the Ijumu Traditional Council and Ijumu Local Government Council, Ahaji Mustapha Aliu, Mallam Busiriyu Aliu and Mohammed Elega approached the court for interpretation of the earlier court judgment, which empowered Mallam Busiriyu Aliu to be installed.

Speaking to journalists shortly after the judgment was delivered in Kabba, the legal counsel to the complainant, Barrister Funsho Agbana, commended the court for giving such a landmark judgment in the chieftaincy tussle.

He said the judgment has further rekindled the hope of the common man in the integrity of the court, noting that people should learn to uphold due process in whatever they do, irrespective of their positions in the society, urging the court to continue in the light.

The head of the family, Alhaji Mustapha Aliu Elewonubi, applauded the decision of the court, stressing that at no time did Ganiyu Isah say he wanted to be the Olu of Odokoro, despite being members of the same Elewonubi family.

Also speaking , the newly recognised Olu of Odokoro-Gbedde elect, Mallam Busiriyu Aliu, commended the court and the people who really fought the legal battle for 17 years, urging the people of the community to support and cooperate with him to move the community forward.

The event was attended by friends, family, and well-wishers, who gathered to celebrate his achievement. Online reactions, however, have been a mix of admiration, skepticism, and humor as netizens took to social media to share their thoughts on Geh Geh’s latest accomplishment.

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Ukrainian boxing sensation Oleksandr Usyk retained his heavyweight championship titles and cemented his place in boxing history with a unanimous decision victory over Britain’s Tyson Fury in their rematch on Saturday night.

The judges scored the bout 116-112 in Usyk’s favor across the board, marking his second consecutive win over Fury. This victory extended Usyk’s flawless professional record to 23-0, with 14 knockouts, adding another chapter to a career already highlighted by Olympic gold and an undisputed cruiserweight championship.

A Masterclass Performance

Usyk, 37, showcased his signature precision and relentless pace, repeatedly catching Fury with clean left hooks and dominating the latter stages of the fight. Fury, at 6ft 9in (206cm) and weighing a career-high 281 pounds, attempted to impose his physicality but was unable to break Usyk’s composure.

The fight, held in Saudi Arabia, saw Usyk wearing traditional Cossack attire during his entrance, while Fury entered the arena dressed in a festive Santa-inspired robe to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

The early rounds were competitive, with Fury landing powerful jabs and body shots. However, Usyk’s endurance and tactical brilliance began to shine in the middle rounds. The Ukrainian landed sharp combinations and dictated the tempo, including a stunning uppercut in the final round that left little doubt about the outcome.

“I thought I’ve won both fights,” Fury said post-match, sporting a bruised right eye. “But I’ll always believe until the day I die that I won that fight.”

A Legacy Sealed

Usyk’s victory solidified his standing as one of the greatest heavyweights in history. Already the first undisputed heavyweight of the four-belt era, Usyk joins the ranks of legends like Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, and Mike Tyson.

The bout, reported to have a prize purse of $190 million, also underscored Saudi Arabia’s growing influence in global sports. Usyk, who served briefly as a soldier during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, celebrated his victory by hoisting a symbolic sabre belonging to Ukrainian nationalist hero Ivan Mazepa.

Fury’s Uncertain Future

The defeat leaves Fury’s future in doubt. Once unbeaten across 35 fights, Fury now stands at 34-2-1. His attempt to reclaim glory after a brief retirement in 2022 has been marred by back-to-back losses to Usyk.

Usyk, on the other hand, continues to add to his already remarkable resume, leaving fans and critics alike in awe of his technical skill, resilience, and determination. As the heavyweight division looks ahead, Usyk’s reign appears unshakable, and his place among boxing’s all-time greats is firmly secured.
