Amebo news reports that the royal families in a press statement recalled that the court in the ruling in suit number Ab/ 253/2019 between Prince Adesola Asade and 2 others vs. Governor of Ogun State and others on March 3, 2022 set aside the approval and appointment of Yisa Olaniyan as the Onipokia of Ipokia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The families added that Justice Ogunfowora had set aside the approval and appointment of Yisa Olaniyan as the Onipokia of Ipokia pending the hearing and determination of the motion of notice for injunction earlier filed by Asade/Adekanbi royal Family on behalf of Iwaye Adodo Rulling House, Ipokia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amebo news further reports that the families, however, expressed shock that despite the above order Olaniyan has continued unabated to parade himself as the Onipokia of Ipokia and gallivanting all over the place to illegally carry out the functions and duties as Onipokia of Ipokia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘It is pertinent to state unequivocally here that in his ruling on the subject matter at the State High Court, sitting in Abeokuta, on 3rd March, 2022, his Lordship, Honourable Justice Ogunfowora had set aside the approval and appointment of Yisa Olaniyan as the Onipokia of Ipokia pending the hearing and determination of the motion of notice for injuction earlier filed by Asade/Adekanbi royal family on behalf of Iwaye Adodo ruling house Ipokia’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘Despite the above order Yisa Olaniyan has continued unabated to parade himself as the Onipokia of Ipokia and gallivanting all over the place to illegally carry out the functions and duties as Onipokia of Ipokia’, the families noted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The families pointed out that in its ruling, the judge specifically stated at page 6 ,that he must state with all sense of responsibility that a government that requests, nay, demands obedience and respect of its citizenry to eschew self-help must not itself disrespect the court and its processes, particularly when it is aware that a matter is in court

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amebo news online also reports that the Iwaye Dodo ruling house stated in the statement that the court posited that the defendants have no right to take matters into their hands once the court was seized of it, in the final analysis and in view of the above.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Defendants have no right to take matters into their hands once the Court was seized of it. In the final analysis and in view of the above, this application is granted in the following terms: The approval of the appointment of Yisa Olusola Olaniyan as the ONIPOKIA OF IPOKIA by the government of Ogun State is hereby set aside pending the hearing and determination of the Claimants’ application for Interlocutory Injunction which has been filed since on the 1st of June, 2020’, the families recalled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘However, despite the above order of the court, Yisa Olusola Olaniyan has continued to recklessly, lawlessly and most irresponsibly carry-out the functions and duties as Onipokia of Ipokia in flagrant disobedience of the valid and subsisting order of the High court of Ogun State’, the families noted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘On April 11, 2022 the Asade/Adekanbi who are the Claimants in the suit on behalf of the entire Asade, Adekanbi, Oteni and Okeleye families of Iwaye Adodo Ruling house in Ipokia further approached the High Court by filing the necessary/appropriate processes for committal proceedings against the Yisa Olusola Olaniyan and other traditional ruler(s), official(s), person(s) or group(s) for aiding and/or condoning reckless and lawless disobedience of Court Order. The committal processes still in court’, the families wrote.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘Since March 3, 2022 Yisa Olusola Olaniyan has continued to illegally perform official functions as Onipokia of Ipokia at several occasions and proves and evidences has been filled before the court. It’s on record that Yisa Olusola has installed over Fifteen (15) head of villages (Baales) in the last two (2,) years of the ruling against the order of the court of competent jurisdiction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘On Thursday, 16th day of May, 2024, Yisa Olusola Olaniyan, in his full regalia and paraphernalia of office as Onipokia and in company of other designated Traditional Rulers of Ipokia Local Government hosted the new Comptroller of the Federal Operations Unit, Zone A of the Nigeria Customs Service’, the families alleged.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘This action of Yisa Olaniyan is contemptuous, abuse of court order and an affront to constituted authority (Court) and total disrespect to Hon Justice Ogunfowora ruling of the court of competent jurisdiction’.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘We wish to warn (with courteous regards) Yewa Land Traditional Count, Chiefs including persons, groups, bodies or associations that it is contemptuous, and a criminal offence to accord respect to, or recognize or address Yisa Olusola Olaniyan as Onipokia of Ipokia, or address him as such in any way or manner either directly or by implications. We are law abiding and we believe in the rule of law.

Three Years On, General Buratai Hails Tinubu’s Economic, Security Achievements

 

 

Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.), has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as bold economic reforms and improved security efforts as the President marks three years in office.

 

 

 

 

In a goodwill message on Thursday to commemorate Tinubu’s third anniversary as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Buratai said the administration had taken courageous decisions that would leave a lasting impact on Nigeria’s development.

 

 

 

According to him, President Tinubu broke a long-standing cycle that had hindered national growth by removing fuel subsidy and implementing foreign exchange reforms aimed at stabilising the naira and strengthening the economy.

 

 

 

 

He noted that the reforms were beginning to yield positive results, citing the global acceptance of Nigerian debit cards, the gradual revival of local refineries, access to student loans, and ongoing road and infrastructure projects across the country.

 

 

 

“The FCT Administration has also recorded remarkable progress, completing major road projects that remained unfinished for over 16 years,” Buratai stated.

 

 

 

The former army chief also praised the administration’s security efforts, saying renewed military offensives against insurgents, terrorists and bandits had led to notable successes across various parts of the country.

 

 

 

He specifically lauded recent joint operations involving Nigerian and United States forces against Boko Haram and ISWAP in the North-East, as well as intensified counter-banditry operations in the North-West.

 

 

 

 

“We have seen notorious ISWAP commanders being neutralised. I congratulate the Commander-in-Chief, the Minister of Defence, the Chief of Defence Staff, the Service Chiefs, the Inspector-General of Police and heads of intelligence agencies for their efforts,” he said.

 

 

 

 

Buratai, however, acknowledged that challenges remained, stressing the need for more aggressive military operations and intelligence-driven strategies in the coming year.

 

 

 

 

While urging Nigerians to remain hopeful, he said celebrating the President’s achievements did not amount to ignoring the difficulties facing the nation.

 

 

 

 

“Because you truly care, you have shown the courage to trade short-term comfort for long-term hope. Nigerians need your reassurances, and that is why we remain optimistic and full of confidence,” he added.

The retired military officer reaffirmed his support for the Tinubu administration and expressed confidence that the foundation being laid by the government would deliver a brighter future for the country.

 

He also prayed for God’s guidance, wisdom, strength and good health for the President as he continues to lead Nigeria.

NUT Raises Alarm Over Continued Captivity of Abducted Oyo Pupils, Teachers

 

 

The Nigeria Union of Teachers has expressed deep concern over the continued captivity of pupils and teachers abducted during an attack on schools in the Ahoro-Esinle and Yawota communities in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.

 

 

In a statement issued on Saturday, the Oyo State wing of the union described the situation as increasingly distressing, particularly following the emergence of a video allegedly released by the abductors showing the victims pleading for their freedom.

 

 

The union said the footage had heightened fears over the welfare of the abducted pupils and teachers, describing their ordeal as heartbreaking and unacceptable.

According to the NUT, no child or teacher deserves to be subjected to such traumatic experiences, adding that the prolonged captivity of the victims has continued to inflict psychological pain on their families, colleagues and the wider education community.

 

 

 

The union called on the Federal Government, Oyo State Government and relevant security agencies to intensify efforts towards securing the immediate and safe release of the victims.

 

 

“This is not a moment for hesitation. It is a moment for coordinated, intelligence-driven efforts to ensure the immediate and safe release of all abducted pupils and teachers,” the statement read.

 

 

While acknowledging ongoing interventions by security agencies and government authorities, the union stressed that time was of the essence, warning that every additional day in captivity deepens the trauma suffered by the victims.

 

 

The NUT urged security operatives to strengthen surveillance, improve community intelligence gathering and deploy all necessary operational and diplomatic measures to facilitate the rescue of the abductees.

 

 

It also appealed to traditional rulers, community leaders and residents to support rescue efforts by providing credible information that could assist security agencies.

 

 

 

“The safety of our children and teachers must remain a collective priority,” the union stated.

 

 

Reaffirming its support for the families of the victims, the NUT pledged continued solidarity and prayers while advocating safer learning environments across the country.

 

 

The statement was jointly signed by the Chairman of the Oyo State NUT, Comrade Hassan Ajibola Fatai, and the Secretary, Comrade Salami Olukayode.
