An High Court sitting in Omuo-Ekiti, Ekiti State has sacked the Agere of Okeringun, Omuo-Oke Ekiti, Jamiu Dende on the account that his appointment did not follow due process.
According to the court, the Olomuooke of Omuo Oke, Oba Valentine Adebayo Otitoju who appointed the sacked chief, lacked such power to do so in line with the Ekiti State Chieftancy law.
NEWSTODAYNG recalled that the head of Isalu clan and the Elerebi of Omuooke Ekiti, Chief Michael Akomolehin had approached the court in 2019 to seek redress after the Olomuooke of Omuo Oke, Oba Otitoju appointed Dende as against the custom and tradition of the land.
