COURT ASKED TO NULLIFY APPOINTMENT OF BAKRE AS AGURA OF GBAGURA

 The plaintiff also asked the court to declare that the election of the 1st Defendant (Bakre) by the kingmakers as irregular and of no effect and that the court should direct the Egiri Ruling House to present a candidate to the kingmakers in accordance with the Agura Chieftaincy Declaration of 1958.

Penpushing further reports that, Adeosun in the writ of summon asked the court to restrain the Governor of Ogun State or his agents from giving effect to the purported appointment of the 1st Defendant as the Agura of Gbagura.

The plaintiff citing the Agura of Gbagura Chieftaincy Declaration said that he is the only religionless son among the ten candidates that signifies their intention to fill the vacant stool of Agura of Gbagura Chieftaincy.

Penpushing also reports that, he stated that the 1st Defendant was not qualified to be nominated for the Agura stool, claiming that even though it was the turn of the Egiri Ruling House to present the next monarch, there was no meeting of the house where the 1st Defendant was purportedly selected as the new traditional ruler.

The plaintiff argued that a member of the family, listed as the 11 Defendant, Hon. Justice Demola Bakre(rtd) merely used his influence to foist his nephew, the 1st Defendant on the family even when he knew that the said nephew was not qualified to be appointed the monarch.
